Teenage population.
How does the Humboldt current affect the temperatures in Central Chile?
Temperatures are lower in winter than what they should.
Temperatures in this region are higher because of the hot current.

What is a characteristic of the coastal range in the Far North?
coastal cliffs
the Andes mountains are located here
wide and extensive beaches
Why does mining cause damage to the environment in the Far North?
because of the limited amount of water reserves.
mining does not damage the environment.
because of the unlimited amount of water reserves.
In terms of hydrology, the Far North is considered to be endorheic. Why?
bodies of water do not have an outlet to the ocean.
bodies of water are evaporated before they reach the ocean
bodies of water have outlets to the ocean
What happens with precipitation and temperature as you travel south?
it increases
it decreases
it is the same in all of the south
