Geography of North America

Okay, so you know how we live on a big ball called Earth, right? Well, when we look at a map of the world, North America is the part that looks like a big rectangle!

North America is made up of three countries: Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico. Each of these countries has different landscapes and features. In Canada, there are lots of mountains, forests, and lakes. The United States has deserts, forests, mountains, and big cities. And in Mexico, there are beaches, mountains, and jungles.

North America is also home to some really big bodies of water, like the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. There are also some really big mountain ranges, like the Rockies and the Appalachian Mountains.

And did you know that there are some really important landmarks in North America? Like the Statue of Liberty in New York City, the CN Tower in Toronto, Niagara Falls on the border of Canada and the United States, and the Chichen Itza ruins in Mexico.

So, North America is a big piece of land with lots of different countries, landscapes, and cool things to see!
