Panama continent

List of countries inNorthAmerica Occupying the northern part of the large supercontinent known as Americas or New World, North America is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean from the north and by the Atlantic Ocean from the east, by the Pacific Ocean from the west and south. It has an overland border with South America continent, which runs along the state boundary between Panama and Colombia. In total, in North America, there are 23 officially recognized independent states. The largest of them is Canada, followed by also rather big the United States. These two giants together occupy more than 79% of the whole continent area. The smallest country in this part of the world is Saint Kitts and Nevis, it is only two small islands in the Caribbean. Among the most visited North American countries the number one is the USA, where New York City is considered the most attractive landmark for travelers, further followed by Mexico and Canada. • A • Antigua and Barbuda • B • Bahamas • Barbados • Belize • C • Canada • Costa Rica • Cuba • D • Dominica • Dominican Republic • E • El Salvador • G • Grenada • Guatemala • H • Haiti • Honduras • J • Jamaica • M • Mexico • N • Nicaragua • P • Panama • S • Saint Kitts and Nevis • Saint Lucia • Saint Vincent and the Grenadines • T • Trinidad and Tobago • U • United States of America (USA) • A • Anguilla (UK) • Aruba (Netherlands) • B • Bermuda (UK) • Bonaire (Netherlands) • British Virgin Islands (UK) • C • Cayman Islands (UK) • Clipperton Island (Fr...

• • • • • Panama is a transcontinental country covering an area of 75,417 sq. km (29,119 sq mi) from Central to South America. As observed on the physical map of Panama, the country's landscape is dominated by forested, volcanic-in-origin, mountains that extend from its Costa Rican border to Colombia, South America. Significant ranges include the lengthy Central Mountains, as well as the San Blas, Talamanca, and Tabasara. The highest point in Panama is the 3,475 m (11,401 ft) tall Volcán Barú. A yellow upright triangle mars the position of the point on the map. The sandy beach coastlines of Panama merge into forested lowlands that rise into the foothills of the inland mountain ranges. The eastern third of Panama ( the Darien province) is a sparsely populated land of rain forests, rivers and swampy lowlands bordered by high mountain peaks. The Darian Gap, fronting the border with Colombia, is an inhospitable, almost impassable thick jungle. The northern coastline is ringed by the hundreds of small islands that form the Bocas del Torro and San Blas Archipelagos. Significant islands along the southern coastlines include the Pearl Islands ( of Survivor fame), Taboga, Cebaco and Coiba. Hundreds of rivers drain the land, mostly small; significant ones include the Charges, Chepo, Chucunague, San Pablo, Santa Maria and Tuira. Provinces of Panama Map Panama (officially, the Republic of Panama) is divided into 10 administrative provinces ( provincias, sing. provincia) and 3 indigeno...

• Geographically, the North American continent also includes Greenland, though culturally and politically, the country is more aligned with Europe. • In some uses of 'North America', Central America and the Caribbean are excluded and in others, even Mexico is left out of the definition. • North America includes 23 independent countries. • A number of the Caribbean islands are territories or dependencies of other (often European) countries. • In some uses, 'South America' may include the portion of Panama south of the Isthmus of Panama. • Islands near the main continent are also considered to be part of South America. These include Easter Island (Chile), the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador), the Falkland Islands (U.K.) and South Georgia Islands (U.K.). • Central America includes the countries of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. • Central America can also sometimes include the area of Mexico east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, such as the Yucatan Peninsula. • Central America is an isthmus, a narrow strip of land that connects North and South America. • At its narrowest point in Darién, Panama, it is only 30 miles from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. At no point is the isthmus more than 125 miles wide. • Latin America includes a very diverse group of people who differ by nationality, race, ethnicity, and culture. • Spanish is common throughout Latin America and Portuguese is the main language of Brazil. Native languages such as Q...

• • • • • • • • North America History Anthropologists believe that North America's initial inhabitants arrived around 40,000 years ago by traversing the Bering Strait. Some experts feel that by using primitive boats, early man also migrated down the Pacific coast to South America; that debate continues. There is scientific evidence connecting indigenous Americans to Asian peoples, specifically from the eastern Siberian populations. Indigenous peoples of the Americas have been linked to North Asian populations by linguistic dialects and blood types. After the last glacial period ended some 12,500 years back, a wide variety of prehistoric cultures developed across the continent, north to south. The development of stone tools was one of the factors instrumental in that successful expansion. Long before the Europeans arrived, small groups developed throughout the Americas. Across the Great Plains hunter-gatherers existed on wild plants and animals, but they were eventually replaced by more sophisticated bands that farmed the land, raised some animals and improved their hunting skills. At about the time of Christ, the brown-skinned Arawak People migrated from Venezuela to the Lesser Antilles. Small groups settled on many islands in the southeastern Caribbean, eventually reaching the Greater Antilles, creating their largest settlements on the islands of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica In the far-southern reaches of the continent important cultural advances were made by the Maya c...

A continent is one of Earth’s seven main divisions of land. The continents are, from largest to smallest: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Ant arctica, Europe, and Australia. When geographers identify a continent, they usually include all the islands associated with it. Japan, for instance, is part of the continent of Asia. Greenland and all the islands in the Caribbean Sea are usually considered part of North America. Together, the continents add up to about 148 million square kilometers (57 million square miles) of land. Continents make up most—but not all—of Earth’s land surface. A very small portion of the total land area is made up of islands that are not considered physical parts of continents. The ocean covers almost three-fourths of Earth. The area of the ocean is more than double the area of all the continents combined. All continents border at least one ocean. Asia, the largest continent, has the longest series of coastlines. Coastlines, however, do not indicate the actual boundaries of the continents. Continents are defined by their continental shelves. A continental shelf is a gently sloping area that extends outward from the beach far into the ocean. A continental shelf is part of the ocean, but also part of the continent. To geographers, continents are also culturally distinct. The continents of Europe and Asia, for example, are actually part of a single, enormous piece of land called Eurasia. But linguistically and ethnically, the areas of Asia an...

Map of Central America • Central America is the southernmost region of North America. • Central America consists of 7 countries: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. • The United States is the biggest trading partner of the countries in Central America. • The U.S. dollar can be used as a form of currency in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Panama. Central America is the southernmost region of North America. It is comprised of 7 countries: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. All of these countries are located to the north of the Panama-Columbia border, which is generally considered to be the boundary between North and South America. In addition, the history and economics of Central America link the region closely with the rest of North America. Geography is the first and foremost factor that makes Central America part of North America. As previously noted, the demarcation line between North and South America is generally considered to be the border between Panama and Columbia. Whereas Panama is considered part of North America, Columbia is considered to be a South American country. Hence, Central America is the southernmost part of North America. Read More If you look in an atlas, you will find that the geographical demarcation line between North and South America is located in the Isthmus of Panama. Most atlases put this line specifically in the area of the Darien Mountains watershed divide, which ...
