The Earth's crust is made up of three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

Igneous Rocks

Igneous rocks are formed when magma (molten rock) cools and solidifies. They can be classified into two main types: intrusive and extrusive.

• Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
• Extrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface.

Sedimentary Rocks

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments (pieces of other rocks, minerals, or organic matter) are compacted and cemented together.

• Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of broken pieces of other rocks.
• Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from the precipitation

They are isolated, separated by wide valleys. From Pino Hachado to Staten Island, they form two high-elevation areas (3,000 meters), separated by a sector with peaks not exceeding 2,500 meters above sea level. Key peaks include Lanín volcano and Tronador.

The last glaciation greatly influenced this landscape. Remnants persist as continental ice fields and glaciers like Perito Moreno.

Rivers originating here have great power, harnessed for hydroelectricity (e.g., Futaleufú Dam).

Temperature varies with altitude. Prevailing westerly winds bring heavy rainfall, especially in winter. Slopes are forested, with trees over 20 meters tall and an understory of shrubs and Colihue reeds.
