Además se tiene que la Precordillera corresponde a cordones montañosos con altitudes que no sobrepasan los 2.000 m s.n.m., adyacente a la Cordillera Principal. Está conformada por rocas volcanoclásticas y sedimentarias, marinas y continentales de edad meso-cenozoica. En el extremo Este, se tiene la Zona Extraandina o Pampas Orientales se observan altitudes variables entre 400 m s.n.m. y 700 m s.n.m., formada principalmente por una cubierta de depósitos cuaternarios de origen glacial, fluvioglacial y glaciolacustre, ocupando hasta la franja cercana a la frontera con Argentina.
