A general term applied to the system of elevations that extends along or near the Pacific Coast of North and South America from northern Alaska to Cape Horn. The Cordillera of North America includes the mountain ranges in Mexico, the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevadas, the Coast and' Cascade ranges in the United States, and the several ranges in British Columbia and Alaska. The whole western part of the continent traversed by these ranges is commonly called the 'Cordilleran region.' In South America the term is sometimes used comprehensively as a synonym for the Andes, or the two may be united, i.e., Andean Cordillera, and it is also applied to definite portions of the Andes, as in Colombia, where the three mountain ranges are known as the Eastern, Central, and Western Cordilleras. The term, originally borrowed from the Spanish, is being used more and more by geographers in a general sense to signify an extensive system of elevations.
