For transportation the Andean used different ways to cross bodies of water. They used rafts, bridges, and hanging baskets called oroya. Their Andean roads system was the most extravagant and highly advanced road system in Pre- Colombian South America. It was based on two North-South roads with many branches. There were also buildings at intervals along this advanced road called qolqa or qollqa. These harbored food, clothing, and weapons. The Chasqui are runners. These messengers carry messages in a relay system. Sometimes the messages are in knotted cord (quipu) or in spoken messages. They not only carried messages, but packages like fish and smaller objects. These messengers could travel distances up to 160 miles a day.
Terraces and Llamas are both part of the Andean human- environment interaction. They use the terraces to grow their crops. since they live in the mountains there is very little level ground. So they cut terraces into the side of the mountain. They look like giant stair-steps and are easily harvested. The Andean also used the Llamas that were on the mountain as tamed pack animals. They are sure footed and can carry heavy loads.
In the Andes mountains, there are many amazing features in the mountains. In fact, there are beautiful lakes high up in the mountains. The Andean have changed the landscape though. They have made their villages and cities in the mountains and carved terraces into the mountains' sides. These characteristics are physical and human.
Peru has many regions. The regions that the Andean live in is the mountains areas. There are many divisions in Peru for different regions. They Andean live in the Western regions.
The Andean are located in Peru. Peru is located in Brazil. Brazil is located on Earth, and so on. To me, there really isn't a way to describe location. Unless it's relative. They live just about all on the West coast of Brazil.
Noelle,
ReplyDeletePeru is definitely not part of Brazil, though Peru and Brazil border each other.
