How many countries make up North America? A lot of people think of Canada, the USA, and Mexico. In All about North America for Kids, you and your students will learn that this continent actually includes 23 countries! These include Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, Grenada, Saint Vincent, Cuba, and Haiti.
North America is the third largest continent in the world, behind Asia and Africa, and covers 16.5% of the earth’s land area. It was named after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. The continent borders the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the Caribbean Sea, and South America. It also includes all the major biomes or habitats, such as tundra, coral reef, and desert. The geography of the countries of North American vary as much as its wildlife. There are around 965 different mammal species that call different parts of the continent home.
You will also learn a lot about the history of the continent. Scientists believe the Paleo-Indians from Eurasia used a land bridge between modern-day Siberia and Alaska to travel to North America to settle. They developed organized societies, and some ancient civilizations even built temples and created writing systems and calendars. Eventually colonizers from Europe traveled to the continent, which often displaced the native peoples of North America and settling on their lands.
There is so much more to learn about this continent. The video includes information on famous landmarks, such as Niagara Falls and the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan. These are only a few of the many attractions that millions of people visit every year.
