Question

The main part of Guyana highlands is in ________.
A- Venezuela
B- Mexico
C- Argentina
D- Chile

Answer 1

Hint:
This nation has the largest known reserves of oil in the world and has been one of the world's leading oil exporters. It occupies an area which is roughly triangular and larger than the areas of France and Germany combined.

Complete answer:
The plateau and low mountain area called the Guiana Highlands is situated in northern South America. It is located north of the Amazon River and south of the Orinoco River. With the exception of the low coastal plain, it includes the southern half of Venezuela, the northern portion of Brazil, and part of southeastern Colombia, much of Guyana, Suriname, and French Guyana.

The landscape is a mixture of three rising elements: a rolling hilly upland basement, often less than 1,000 feet (300 meters above sea level; low mountains near divisions of streams, ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 feet (610 to 914 meters above sea level; and resistant plateaus covered with sandstone. Where the highest elevations meet the borders of Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana.

The most prominent natural landmark in the highlands is Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall at 3,212 feet (979 meters). The area receives an abundance of rainfall, and no season is completely dry. The vegetation is mainly tropical.

The area receives an abundance of rainfall, and no season is completely dry. The vegetation is mainly tropical rainforest, but in parts of southern Venezuela and Guyana, there are savannahs or treeless plains. Valuable logs, balata (dried juice from some trees), gum, vanilla, insecticides, and medicinal plants are forest products. An abundance of minerals is borne by the crystalline rocks, but the heavy plant cover limits discovery and mining.

Therefore, the correct answer is A

Note:
> Distance from Argentina to Guyana is 4,816 kilometres.
> Distance from Mexico to Guyana is 4,918 kilometres.
> Distance from Chile to Guyana is 4,673 kilometres.
Hence Guyana falls at a distance from all these places and hence its main part is not in any of these places.
