Size
and Location: Situated in southern North America at about 23°
N and 102° W, Mexico comprises much of Middle America Physiographically,
the lands east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec including the Yucatán
Peninsula (which together comprise around 12% of the country's area) lie
within Central America; geologically, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt
delimits the region on the north. |
Climate: The Tropic of Cancer effectively divides the country into temperate and tropical zones. Land north of the twenty-fourth parallel experiences cooler temperatures during the winter months. South of the twenty-fourth parallel, temperatures are fairly constant year round and vary solely as a function of elevation. | |
