The highest altitude in the Andes at which people have resided permanently is 17,100 feet (shepherds in southern Peru).The volcano's activity is in the Andes Mountains in Argentina. It may kill the people that live near the Volcanoes and destroy their homes and jobs. There plateaus called Patagonia people will not survive because it's is a dry, windswept plateau to the south.

The Area total in Argentina is 2,780,400 sq km and the land mounts is 2,736,690 sq km and the water is 43,710 sq km The Natural Hazard is volcanic activity in the Andes Mountains along the Chilean border.Copahue (elev. 2,997 m) last erupted in 2000. Other historically active volcanoes include Llullaillaco, Maipo, Planchon-Peteroa, San Jose, Tromen, Tupungatito, and Viedma. San Miguel de Tucuman and Mendoza areas in the Andes subject to earthquakes. Pamperos are violent windstorms that can strike the pampas and northeast, heavy flooding in some areas. Irrigated land is 23,600 sq km. The land use for agricultural land is 53.9%.Arable land is 13.9%.The permanent crops 0.4%. The permanent pastures 39.6%.The forest in the country is 10.7% and the other is 35.4%. The terrain has rich plains of the Pampas in northern half, flat to rolling plateau of Patagonia in south, rugged Andes along western border. The country is slightly less than three-tenths the size of the United States One type of weather in Argentina is Rain and the rainiest spot in Argentina is the Valdivian Rainforest.
If you're asking how does it affect it does because may cause flooding and may kill people or destroy their houses. The next type of weather in Argentina is the sun and it is very sunny in the Patagonian Desert. If you’re hike in the desert you may not leave. Because it is very hot in the desert. The next type of weather in Argentina is cloudy. Same as the first one it is in the Valdivian Rainforest. If you’re asking how does clouds affect people. If it is cloudy everyday in the rainforest it will kill the plants and some plants are eaten by humans and humans may die of starvation. Another one is hot weather in Argentina. One of the hottest place in the world you guessed it the Patagonian Desert it gets 104 F˚. If you’re hike in the desert you may not live because it is very hot in the desert. Another type of weather in Argentina is Earthquakes. 5.2 in Vinchina, La Rioja, Argentina,-3/11/2017 4.2 san Antonio de los Cobres Salta,Argentina 3/16/17 2,San Antonio de los Cobres, Salta, Argentina 3/11/2017. It causes destruction of house and may kill have people. My last weather type is Cold Weather. Winters are mild and brief, with mean temperatures in July ranging from 16 °C (61 °F) in the northern parts to 14 °C (57 °F) in the southernmost parts. Temperatures can reach as high has 49 °C (120 °F) in summer, and during cold waves can fall to −6 °C (21 °F). It is cold in
places like Patagonian Andes, also feature extreme weather. Peoples cars will get stuck and people will die because of the serious snowstorms. I have three mammals in this paper, but there is a lot more mammals that live in Argentina. So my first mammal is a Jaguar and the jaguars eats peccary, crocodiles, snakes, monkeys, deer, sloths, tapirs, turtles, eggs, frogs, fish,armadillos,capybara,squirrels,birds,young caimans,monkeys,tree dwellers. Humans kill Jaguars for their fur. People are affecting the Jaguars Habitat and Life of Jaguars. The Jaguars compete with the humans for food.Jaguars are shot on sight because they eat the farmer, livestock and compete for prey. My next mammal is the Maned Wolf and the Maned Wolf eats Wild guinea pigs, rabbits and burrowing rodents as well as pacas and agoutis, both fast-running rodents. Insects, reptiles and birds are a regular part of its diet, but it also eats fruits, sugarcane and other plants.The maned wolf is misunderstood and widely persecuted. For years, it was hunted and killed by farmers who believed that the wolves were killing their poultry and livestock. The next mammal is an animal that lives underwater. It is a whale named the Southern right whale. Southern right whale eats copepods, krill, mysids and plankton.People use to go whaling for the Southern Right Whale. Southern right whale populations suffered dramatic losses due to whaling. People still do stuff to the whales include fishing, coastal development and human harassment. I have two birds in this paper, but there is a lot more bird in my country, but i picked these two because they were interesting birds. My first bird is a penguin named Magellanic Penguin.The Magellanic Penguin eats a lot of fish.I think this is its main course. The climate change is changing and the Magellanic penguin chicks are dying because of the people car gas polluting the air. My last bird is the Southern Crested Caracara.The Southern Crested Caracara bird eats small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, turtles, fish, crab, eggs, insects, worms, and nestling birds. Habitat loss and disturbance by human activities. I have one animal left and it is a popular fish. It called the Smooth Hammerhead Shark it lives off the coast of Argentina. Smooth Hammerhead Sharks eat fish, squid, octopus, crustaceans, stingrays and other sharks. This species are highly desired for the shark fin trade because of its larger fin size and high fin ray count. They are caught in a variety of fisheries, including artisanal and small-scale commercial fisheries, bottom longline fisheries,offshore pelagic longline, gillnet, and similar fisheries.They are valuable in the international fin trade and are often used to make shark fin soup. Compilation of market prices from auction records indicates an average, wholesale, unprocessed hammerhead fin market value of US $45-100/lb. Due to their similarity in appearance to the scalloped hammerhead shark, both the great and smooth hammerhead sharks have been added to CITES Appendix II in an effort to better regulate the international trade of all three species to ensure their sustainability. I had four plants one of them is a Darwin’s Barberry and they are found in Argentina.The Darwin’s Barberry is native to Argentina and Chile. It is named after Charles Darwin, who discovered the plant in 1835 in Chile.The next plant is the Santa Cruz water lily and it found in Argentina. Important to native Americans cultures. The next plant is Darwin’s Slipper which is located in Argentina.These plants are rare to find for sale because people are making counterfeit seeds.The next plant is a Yerba Mate which is found in Argentina.The plant is listed as near threatened due to over harvesting in the wild.
The Major Religion in Argentina is Christianity.Estimates for the number of Roman Catholics vary from 70% of the population, to as much as 90%. The CIA Factbook lists 92% of the country as Catholic, but adds that less than 20% practice their faith regularly. The population of Argentina is 44,192,977 Million people. The population density is 15 people per square kilometer. Parts of Argentina are heavily populated while others have fewer people. I guessed that the heavily populated spots have a lot of jobs for new comer. The small populated towns have less jobs for newcomers. What do the homes look like in Argentina? Residents of Buenos Aires and other large cities live in high-rise apartments; those in the suburbs residing in ranch-style concrete homes with tile roofs. However, poorer families often inhabit substandard housing in tenements or shantytowns. More than two-fifths of homes in the city of Buenos Aires are rented. It would help people survive. They would have a roof over their head.They would keep you off the street and being homeless. Where do people work in Argentina? People most popular jobs are mining ,oil,banking,Fishing and logistic.It helps their family get supplies and food. How do people travel in Argentina. They travel in Planes,Bus,Boat,Train,Car Hitchhiking. Their favorite sport is futball (soccer).
