Kordiljeri

Obalne planine u Britanskoj Kolumbiji, Kanada

Satelitski snimak istočnih Kordiljera u Kolumbiji

Kordiljeri su planinski venac koji se prostire duž zapadnog kraja američkog kontinenta od Aljaske do Patagonije (Ognjene zemlje). Čine ga dva velika planinska venca: Stenovite planine u Severnoj Americi i Andi u Južnoj Americi. Kordiljeri takođe predstavljaju okosnicu vulkanskog luka koji čini istočnu polovinu Pacifičkog vatrenog pojasa.

Od severa prema jugu, planinski venac se deli na više manjih venaca. Počinje sa Aljaska i Bruks grupama planina na Aljasci i prolazi kroz Jukon u Britanskoj Kolumbiji. Glavni pojas Stenovitih planina paralelno sa Pacifičkim planinskim masivom nastavlja se kroz Britansku Kolumbiju i ostrvo Vankuver. U Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama grane Kordiljera obuhvataju Stenovite planine, Sijera Nevadu, Kaskadne planine i obalske delove Vašingtona, Oregona i Kalifornije. U Meksiku, Kordiljeri se nastavljaju na Zapadne i Orijentalne Sijera Madre, kao okosnica planinama poluostrva Donja Kalifornija.

Planine od Meksika severno zovu se zajedno Severnoamerički Kordiljeri ili Zapadni Kordiljeri u SAD i Kanadi, a takođe se zovu i Kanadski Kordiljeri ili Pacifički Kordiljeri u Kanadi.

Kordiljeri se nastavljaju kroz planinski masiv u Centralnoj Americi, u Gvatemali, Hondurasu, Nikaragvi, Kostariki i Panami i prelaze u Ande u Južnoj Americi. Andi se, sa svojim paralelnim lancima i lancem ostrva Čilea, nastavljaju u Kolumbiju, Venecuelu, Ekvador, Peru, Boliviju, Argentinu, Čile, do samog kraja Južne Amerike u Ognjenoj zemlji. Pored toga, venac se može pratiti kroz planine zakrivljene Južne Džordžije, preko Južnog okeana do planine Grejem na Antarktiku.

Opis

Severna Amerika

Glavni članak: Severnoamerička Kordiljera

Lanci Kordiljera od Meksika ka severu se zajednički nazivaju Severnoamerički Kordiljeri.

Od severa ka jugu, ovaj niz preklapajućih i paralelnih opsega počinje sa Aljaskim i Bruksovskim vencem na Aljasci i prolazi kroz Jukon u Britansku Kolumbiju. Glavni pojas Stenovitih planina, zajedno sa paralelnim planinama Kolumbija i Obalskim vencima planina i ostrva, nastavlja se kroz Britansku Kolumbiju i ostrvo Vankuver. U Sjedinjenim Državama, ogranci Kordiljere obuhvataju Stenovite planine, Sijera Nevadu, Kaskade, i razne male Pacifičke obalske vence. U Meksiku, Kordiljeri se nastavljaju kroz Zapande Sijera Madre i Sijera Madre Orijental, kao i kroz planine okosnice poluostrva Baja Kalifornija.

Kordiljeri se nastavljaju kroz planinske lance Centralne Amerike u Gvatemali, Hondurasu, Nikaragvi, Kostariki i Panami i postaje venac Anda u Južnoj Americi.

Južna Amerika i Antarktik

Kordiljeri, nastavljajući kroz Centralnu Ameriku, nastavlja se kroz Južnu Ameriku, pa čak i na Antarktik. U Južnoj Americi, Kordiljeri su poznati kao planine Andi. Andi sa svojim paralelnim lancima i ostrvskim lancima uz obalu Čilea nastavljaju se preko Kolumbije, Venecuele, Ekvadora, Perua, Bolivije, Argentine i Čilea do najjužnijeg vrha Južne Amerike u Ognjenoj zemlji. Kordiljeri se nastavljaju duž Škotskog luka pre nego što stignu do planina Antarktičkog poluostrva.
