Does America belong to America?

Of course, North America belongs to the United States. America can be divided into three continents: North America, South America and Central and North America. The following is the detailed information of North America, I hope it will be useful to you.

North America is the abbreviation of North Asia and America, located in the northern part of the western hemisphere. It borders the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Panama Canal in the south and South America across the river. The mainland reaches Cape St. Charles in the east (55 degrees 40 minutes west longitude and 52 degrees 13 minutes north latitude), Cape Mariato in the south (8 degrees105 minutes west longitude and 7 degrees 12 minutes north latitude), and Prince of Wales in the west (0 degrees 168 degrees 05 minutes north latitude)

Residents: The population distribution of the whole continent is very uneven, and most of the population is distributed in the southeast. Four fifths of the population of the United States and two thirds of the population of Canada live here, with the highest population density around Lake Erie in new york and between the United States and Canada. Puerto Rico and Martinique in the West Indies are also densely populated areas. The vast northern areas and the inland areas of the western United States are sparsely populated, and some places are even uninhabited. Residents are mainly descendants of immigrants from European countries such as Britain and France. Followed by blacks, Indians, hybrids, and a few Greenlanders, Puerto Ricans, Titans, Japanese and overseas Chinese. Mainly Christianity and Catholicism. Common English and Spanish.

Natural environment: the North American continent is wide in the north and narrow in the south, slightly inverted trapezoid. The northern part of the west and the northern and eastern coasts are tortuous, with many islands and bays. The islands are mostly distributed in the north and south, with a total area of about 4 million square kilometers, making it the largest island continent. Greenland is the largest island in the world, with an area of 2 175600 square kilometers. Part of the topography of the North American continent can be divided into three obvious north-south longitudinal zones: one is the eastern mountainous area and the plateau. The Labrador Plateau is in the north of the St. Lawrence River Basin, and the Appalachian Mountains are in the south. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north, with an altitude of 300-600 meters in the north and an altitude of 1000- 1500 meters in the south. Mount Mitchell, the main peak, is 2037 meters above sea level. There is a long and narrow coastal plain along the Atlantic Ocean on the east side of the Appalachian Mountains, which gradually descends on the west side and joins the central plain. 2. The Central Plain is located between Labrador Plateau, Appalachian Mountains and Rocky Mountains, starting from Hudson Bay in the north and the Gulf of Mexico in the south, and running through the central part of the mainland. The northern part of the plain is a region with many lakes and rapids, the southern part belongs to the Mississippi River Plain, and the western part of the plain is a world-famous prairie. 3. The mountains and plateaus in the west belong to the northern section of Cordillera Mountains, extending from Alaska to southern Mexico. It mainly includes three parallel mountains: the eastern belt is the Rocky Mountains with an altitude of 2,000-3,000 meters above sea level, which extends 5,000 kilometers from north to south and is an important dividing line of the climate in North America; The western belt starts from the American coastal mountains in the south and flows into the sea in the north, forming a coastal island in western Canada, with an altitude of 1000- 1500m. The central zone includes alaska range in the north, Canadian coastal mountains, Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountains in the United States. Mount McKinley in Alaska is 6 193 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in North America. There are plateaus and basins between the eastern belt and the central belt. Pelvic floor 1300- 1800. The dead valley in the south of the basin is 85 meters below sea level, which is the lowest point of land in the western hemisphere. The great rivers in North America, except the St. Lawrence River, all originate in the Rocky Mountains. The rivers to the east of the Rocky Mountains flow into the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean respectively, and the rivers to the west flow into Taiping. According to the length of rivers, they are Mississippi River, mackenzie river River, yukon river River, St. Lawrence River, Rio Grande River and Nelson River. North America is a continent with many lakes, and the area of freshwater lakes ranks first among all continents. The Great Lakes in the Central Plateau are the largest talking lakes in the world, and are called "the Mediterranean of North America", among which Lake Superior has the largest area, followed by Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

North America spans tropical, temperate and frigid zones, and its climate is complex and diverse. The north is in the Arctic Circle, and it is ice and snow. The South Caribbean benefits from the equatorial warm current, but there are also tropical hurricanes. The vast area in the middle of the mainland is located in the north temperate zone. Due to the blocking of the western mountains, the humid westerly wind from the Pacific Ocean cannot penetrate into the mainland, so the precipitation in most areas comes from the Atlantic Ocean in the southeast, and the air is humid, and the precipitation gradually decreases from southeast to northwest. The average annual precipitation in most parts of the southeast is above 65,438 0,000 mm, and it is below 500 mm in the northwest of the plain and the west of the Rocky Mountains. The precipitation in the areas facing the west wind along the Pacific coast has increased sharply, and the average annual precipitation in some places is about 2,000 mm or more. Northern Canada and northern Alaska have a cold tundra climate, while southern Canada and Alaska have a temperate coniferous forest climate. The area east of the American Rocky Mountains belongs to temperate broad-leaved forest climate and subtropical forest climate. The western inland plateau is mostly temperate grassland climate. The southern part of the Pacific coast belongs to the subtropical Mediterranean climate. The west Indies and the eastern coastal areas of Central America belong to the tropical rain forest climate.
