Answer:
The higher the elevation, the cooler the temperatures.
Temperatures in the region range from very hot to well below freezing.
Altitude's greatest impact is on the amount of precipitation the region experiences.
Explanation:
The climate is extremely diverse and depends on the landscape of a particular area. Daily fluctuations are very large (up to 20°C) .
One can observe different climatic conditions as the height increases - from moderate temperate zones to cold. The height of the Andean mountain range mainly affects the climatic diversity of the Andean region, but also affects the aridity of the coast, preventing the passage of rain from the east (from Selva).
Answer:
In 1670, there was not a country called the United States of America, but there was only a collection of British colonies which weren´t free; they were under the authority of England´s crown. In 1860, the USA was a well established independent and democratic country, despite the deep political and social divisions of the time that would lead to the Civil War. The nation had its Constitution, citizens´rights (it is true not all people could enjoy them because of slavery) and separation of powers. There were regular elections for president and Congress. Unfortunately, the democratic progress of the USA did not benefit all on an equal basis in the 19th century and good part of the 20th century. Even after the Civil War, the passing of the 14th Amendment and other laws, real legal equality was not achieved. Southern states approved legislation that impeded the effective use of African American rights to vote. So, democratic evolution hasn´t always generated benefits to all, but there´s been significant improvement since the 1960s.

"The... shall choose their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States."
Answer:
The 13th amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, passed the Senate on April 8, 1864, and the House on January 31, 1865. On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Joint Resolution of Congress submitting the proposed amendment to the state legislatures. The necessary number of states ratified it by December 6, 1865. The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
In 1863 President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Nonetheless, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation. Lincoln recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation would have to be followed by a constitutional amendment in order to guarantee the abolishment of slavery.
The 13th amendment was passed at the end of the Civil War before the Southern states had been restored to the Union and should have easily passed the Congress. Although the Senate passed it in April 1864, the House did not. At that point, Lincoln took an active role to ensure passage through congress. He insisted that passage of the 13th amendment be added to the Republican Party platform for the upcoming Presidential elections. His efforts met with success when the House passed the bill in January 1865 with a vote of 119–56.
With the adoption of the 13th amendment, the United States found a final constitutional solution to the issue of slavery. The 13th amendment, along with the 14th and 15th, is one of the trio of Civil War amendments that greatly expanded the civil rights of Americans.
