Andean Cordillera

The aridity in north-western and especially coastal Peru, and all the way south to Chile, is due to (a) a constant temperature inversion generated in large part by the cool north-flowing Humboldt current which prevents precipitation in the coastal region and (b) the influence of subtropical atmospheric subsidence and the rain-shadow effect of the Andean cordillera, which prevents humid air from the Amazon reaching the Pacific coastline (Hartley, 2003 Rundel et al., 1991). In the inter-Andean valleys the rain-shadow effect caused by the eastern Andean cordilleras is, however, the most important aridity-producing factor (Troll, 1952). [Pg.260]
