Question
Chapter 27, Problem 15RQ
To determine
The location of world’s longest mountain chain.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 15RQ
The world’s longest mountain chain is located in South America.
Explanation of Solution
In the form of a peak when a large landform rises above the surrounding land under a limited area is commonly known as the mountain. The formation of the mountains generally occurred due to volcanism (The activity of the eruption of molten rocks onto the Earth’s surface) or the tectonic forces.
The longest mountain range in the world is Andes Mountain Range. This mountain range is extended for
Conclusion:
Therefore, the world’s longest mountain chain is located in South America.
