Main landforms in Chile.

Over Chile are clearly marked four macro forms: Coastal Plains, the Andes Mountains, the range the coast and the central depression, below are their definitions and their order across the width of Chile.

• -coastal plains, are located between the Ocean Pacific (west) and Cordillera of the Costa (the east) from the border north to the island of Chiloé to the south. are high, very narrow, wide at the small north and interrupted by cliffs in the central area, very wide in the south of Chile.

• -La chain of Coast starts in South Arica. Form a continuous high mountain in the north, mixing with the so-called cross laces. In the central zone and begins to decline in altitude. South of the Bío-Bío again slightly increase their summits, and ridge called Nahuelbuta. As you progress in latitude, begins to lose its homogeneity and orographic unit until it finally sinks in the southern channels.

• - The intermediate depression lying between the Cordillera de Coast (the west) and Cordillera de los Andes (the east), from the extreme north to the valley Relongaví. It is more arid in the north and more fertile in the southern area. Its continuous expansion facilitates the settlement of much of the national population.

• - The Andes: presents throughout the country as the main macro landform Chile. Its features vary according to the territory in which we observe, in the north is dominated by depressions of the salt flats, which shows the highest peak of the country's Ojos Salado 6,893 m high. In the Antarctic territory is known as Antartandes.

Examples:

• In the North big is prominent for subunits that are not present in the rest of the country: the arid Pampas , prealtiplánicasy Cordilleras in the coastal plains called highland or coastal cliff.
  

• boy in northern is invaded by coastal and Andean mountains called cross-Cords, where it is possible to see the valleys of Elqui, Limari Choapa and Aconcagua.
  

• In central clearly distinguished the four morphological units highlighted.
  

• In the southern begins to drop relief where you can find names like Nahualbua, Pelada Mahuidanchi and where they began to fall.
