This is a geography question, MEXICO is North America, Central America or South America?

Question

where is it? I hope we have many right answers!

Answer 1

*Mexico, US, Canada, and numerous islands are NORTH AMERICA
*Mexico is a country located in North America, bordered at the north by the United States, and at the south by Guatemala and Belize, in Central America.

Answer 2

The Americas are one huge landmass anyway; North, Central and South America are just convinient divisions that don't reflect geographical realities.

Anyhoo, the best way to think about it is to envision the Americas as two large triangles. The northern one goes from Canada to Panama, while the other one is just South America.

As for Mexico, it's clearly part of the continuous piece of land that's North America. And politically, well, remember NAFTA? North America! And guess who's in it? The US, Canada and Mexico. So there you go.

Answer 3

We (North Americans) are taught that there are 6 continents, while many other Americans (those living in the southern hempisphere) are taught there are 5 continents, as are some Europeans (mainly non British). Then there are some that are taught there are 4 continents (Eurasia, Africa, Australia and the controversial Antartica). That being said, this is a difficult question - as continents are not geopolitical entities that can have official borders. Meaning, even though N America and S America are joined in one continuous land mass, some believe continents sit on different plates on the earths surface. But I don't believe there is concrete science to say that there is or isn't a true division of the Americas, years of different political entities have created the north and South America. In the immediate years following columbus 1492 visit, it was America. the separate designations a result of Iberian control of one region and British/French control of the other.
