Andes
The term refers specifically to the singular geographic entity of the mountain range. While the name ends in 's', it is treated as a proper noun representing a single system, though it can be used with either singular or plural verbs depending on whether the speaker is emphasizing the range as a single unit or the individual mountains within it.
In a geographical and geopolitical context, it is almost always capitalized and preceded by the definite article "the". It is distinct from other ranges in its extreme length and its role as a primary climatic and cultural barrier in South America.
