Excerpt from The World We Live In, Vol. 4: An Illustrated Description of All the Lands and Seas of the Globe, Their Peoples, Animals, Plants and Products
As a theatre in which. Are exhibited the mighty processes of Nature, The Model Continent easily takes the first place among the great land masses of the world. The great mountain system of the Andes has been the scene of colossal volcanic eruptions and seismic disturbances during the later stages of the earth's history. The mighty rivers that flow from the Andes, through vast primaeval forests, to the Atlantic have no rivals in the Old World.
In mere size the continents of Asia and Africa are each greater than South America, but in the last-named the operations of Nature are on a scale grander than they are elsewhere.
