Welcome to another Word Regional
Welcome to another Word Regional Geography discussion, this time Professor Jeremy Patrich introduces you to the realm of Middle America, which includes Central America and the Antilles. Don't forget, there are also sample exam questions at the end of the video!
Middle America is a subregion in the middle latitudes of the Americas. (Although Mexico is part of North America, Middle America usually includes Mexico due to its cultural influence and history). Middle America is made of 7 countries of Central America, and 13 island countries, and 18 territories of the Caribbean. Together with Northern America, they form the continent of North America. Colombia and Venezuela of Caribbean South America are sometimes included in this subregion. The Caribbean is occasionally excluded from this subregion, while Bermuda and The Guiana's are infrequently included.
Physiographically, Middle America marks the territorial transition between Northern America and South America, connecting yet separating the two.[5] On the west, the Middle American mainland comprises the tapering, isthmian tract of the American landmass between the southern Rocky Mountains in the southern United States and the northern tip of the Andes in Colombia, separating the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, while the Greater and Lesser Antilles form an island arc in the east. The region developed subaerially southward from North America as a complex volcanic arc-trench system during the Early Cretaceous period, eventually forming the land bridge during the Pliocene epoch when its southern end (at Panama) collided with South America through tectonic action.
