What group of islands are located south of the equator at 60 degrees west longitude?

The correct answer is the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas)

Explanation:

In South of the Equator next to the southeast of Argentina a group of Islands called the Falkland Islands are located, Its landscape its mostly mountainous and hilly, the islands serve as a connection between continental South America and Antarctica.

These islands are historically important due to the different Sovereignty dispute s there has been. It was first discovered by the English that found the islands on their way to Chile and Peru litoral, then the french also found the Islands and established the first settlement in 1764, After the Spanish got power over the islands from the french they stablished their Port called "Puerto Soledad".

After the Argentinian Independence, they acquired the islands, but the majority of its inhabitants were English or with English traditions, so shortly after the British came to claim the islands due to the islands being historically inhabited by the British. This dispute lasted until 1982 where an armed conflict took place where Argentinians invaded and tried to take control of the islands, the British forces shortly retake the islands control and the control of the islands until today.

hello!

let's go through all of these words' definitions.

u-shaped valley - where the valley curves down like a u shape

corrie - similar to the hole created at the top of a volcano when it erupts, it's almost like a dent in a mountain

pyramidal peak - a mountain where the peak is very sharp, such as the matterhorn.

arete - two valleys separated by a thin mountain range

i'm going to assume you know how to read a topographic map, but in case you don't, feel free to comment.

now, let's figure out which one's which:

a - seems to be a mountain range separating two valleys, with a mountain running from top center to bottom center and two valleys on either side. therefore, i'd consider this an arete.

b - it looks like a dent into the mountain, like what a corrie is.

c - looks to be a valley, with two steeper sides curving up around the bottom of the valley which has a river in it. i would consider this an u-shaped valley.

hope this !
