North America

North America stretches from the arctic zone in the North to the tropical zone in the South. Most of it is in the temperate zone. The lands located in the Arctic zone are highly fragmented with deep gulfs and many islands, while its southern part, which approaches the Equator, forms the bridge between North and South America.

North America is connected to South America by a strip of land, which is called Central America and belongs to North America along with the islands of the Caribbean Sea.
