American Cordillera

The Cordillera from Mexico northwards is also called the Western Cordillera.

The Cordillera continues on through the mountain ranges of Central America in Guatemala , Honduras , Nicaragua , Costa Rica , and Panama , and becomes the Andes Mountains of South America . The Andes with their parallel chains and the island chains off the coast of Chile continue through Colombia , Ecuador , Peru , Bolivia , Argentina , and Chile to the very tip of South America at Tierra Del Fuego . In addition the range can possibly be followed through the arcuate South Georgia Ridge across the Southern Ocean to the mountains of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula.

The Cordillera are the eastern half of the Pacific Ring Of Fire , which continues around the Pacific Ocean via Kamchatka and Japan to Indonesia and Polynesia
