Dear Student,

We request you to mention the text, author or chapter name along with your question so that we can revert to you with a meaningful solution.  However, I believe this is what you were looking for:
  • Cordillera is a Spanish term that stands for several mountain systems.
  • They stretch over a large area of a continent.
  • The Western Cordillera comprises a series of mountain belts along Canada’s Pacific coast.
  • These are young mountains that can rise to more than 10000 feet.
  • This landscape has irregular set of ranges in north to south direction.
  • The Rocky mountain are located towards the eastern portion of the Cordillera.
  • These include more than 30 peaks which can exceed up to more than 10000 feet.
  • Most of the mountain slopes are without any trees.  
I hope this helps. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We look forward to hearing from you again and helping you to the best of our abilities.

Regards

The Western Cordillera has distinctive features that include valleys, prairies, and grasslands, rugged mountain slopes and coastal islands. Being one of Canada's youngest landforms, the Western Cordillera was created near the end of the Mesozoic Era, and the beginning of the Cenozoic Era.
