Definition: The word "Andesic" refers to a type of mountain range in the Andes, which extends across South America from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes Mountains in Chile. It's defined as one that rises above sea level between 2,400 and 5,000 meters (8,000-16,000 feet) with an elevation ranging up to 5,500 meters (18,137 feet). This mountain range is often referred to as the "land of fire" due to its steep terrain and high altitude.
