No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: This fine view embraces Mt. Aconcagua and the Andes, Pie de Palo, and the southern Famatina range. The
Precordillera occupies most of the frame; it is a block of North American crust that rifted away from
southern North America about 450 million years ago and became attached to western South America. The
ancient basement rocks, the sedimentary rocks that rest upon basement, and the fossil fauna that they
contain indicated that the block originated off central to west Texas. Rocks exposed near San Juan, for
example, are almost indistinguishable from those of the Franklin Mts. near El Paso. The cities of San Juan
and Mendoza are centers for almond, citrus and grape growing.
