 The Americas, often refered to as the "New World", are the continents occupying the western hemisphere of Earth. North America is in the northern hemisphere with the nations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Connected to South America at the Isthmus of Panama, the land mass known as Central America (between the Isthmuss of Tehuantepec and Panama) is generally included with North America.
As the third largest continent in area (after Asia and Africa) and the fourth largest in population (after Asia, Africa and Europe), North America is bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean, the east by the North Atlantic Ocean, the west by the North Pacific Ocean and the south by the Caribbean Sea.
The vast North American continent is experiencing the effects of global warming in the subsiding of melting tundra of the Arctic and retreatomg glaciers in Montana and the Canadian Rockies, to the coral reef bleaching in lush sub-tropics of Florida, the Caribbean and Bermuda, along with animal habitat loss in California and marsh loss in the Chesapeake Bay.
Geography, the scientific study of the Earth's physical features, resources, climate, and human interventions. The word derives from the Greek words "ge" ( Earth ) and graphy ("to write," as in "to describe").
