Answer 1

Pampas and Patagonia

The Pampas are prolific South American marshes that comprise more than 750,000 km2 and combine the Argentine territories of Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and Cordoba. The vast fields are a common region, suspended only by the low Ventana and Tandil hills, near Bahia Blanca and Tandil Argentina, with an elevation of 1,300 m (4,265 ft) and 500 m (1,640 ft), sequentially.

Patagonia is a sparsely populated area at the southerly end of South America, administered by Argentina and Chile. The district encompasses the southerly segment of the Andes hills and the sands, pampas, and meadows to the east. Patagonia is one of the rare areas with shores on three oceans, with the Pacific Ocean to the westward, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Southern Ocean to the South land.
