Abstract
Two stages are outlined in the evolution of the Andes. These stages correspond also to two distinct geological provinces: the western and eastern cordilleras of the Andes. The western cordillera of igneous and volcanic constitution preceded the rise of the eastern cordillera of sedimentary composition. It is suggested that the western cordillera evolved from a volcanic island-arc similar to those that form the Caribbean arc or the Aleutian arc. . . . The Andes are considered as representing a final evolutionary stage in the development of an island-arc that culminates in the formation of an igneous range separated by a geosynclinal depression from the continental land-mass and bordered by a deep oceanic trough facing the Ocean.
