Question

what are two facts about south america that start with a L
becayse i tried to look it up but i couldn't find any really

Best answer gets 10 points !

Answer 1

Lima = Capital city of Peru

Largest River in the World = Amazon River has more water in it than the next 10 biggest rivers in the world COMBINED

Lovely Ladies = Venezuela has the most Miss Universe Winners

Language = Brazil is the largest Portuguese speaking country in the world (I admit I was incorrect about it being the only non Spanish in South America)

Llama = an animal (i believe related to the Camel) often used to aid transport of goods, in places such as the Inca Trail in Peru , the way horses are used to carry equipment on their backs in North America.

Lake Titicaca - South America's biggest lake, and is the largest lake in the world above 2000m. (thought i owed you a new fact since I made the other mistake).

Answer 2

It shouldn't be very hard to believe that S America and Africa were once connected. Not only that, they're still drifting apart. If and only if they were moving at the exact same rate they're moving today, it would have taken millions of years to create the Atlantic Ocean. However, since the Earth was a mess of volcanic debris before there was land, there's no telling at what point continental drift started. Given both facts that the flow of magma was there before the crust was created and that heated rock (magma) flows much faster than cooled rock (Earth's crust), continental drift was much faster as the crust cooled (jelly versus rock principle). The Atlantic most likely was formed in a few thousands of years. If the Earth's crust hasn't stopped cooling yet, the continents are still slowing down today. However, that's the case only if the currents of magma are consistent since the beginning. You're a reflection of the Earth because that's where you were born from. How you change over time reflects how the Earth changes over time. I conclude that the magma flow beneath the crust is never consistent. Bernulli's principal says that the pressure in the magma is consistent, but it says nothing about the currents that push up mountains, move continents and cause earthquakes and tsunamis. Therefore, continental drift isn't consistent either.

Answer 3

Largest country in south america = Brazil
2nd longest river in world = Amazon River

that’s all I can think of

-Regarding the response to the poster below me, Brazil is not the only country in south america in which spanish is not the official language. Spanish is also not the official language of Guyana, Suriname or French Guiana (all south american countries).
