Waterways can be hard to get across so surrounding or going around it would be a natrual boundary. Countries and states on North America are mostly separated by artificial boundaries. The artificial boundaries are called boarders. All of North America is surrounded by water. The water is a natural boundary of the entire continent.
The City of Chicago is located within the boundaries of Cook and DuPage Counties which are located within the boundaries of the State of Illinois which is located within the boundaries of the United States of America which is located within the boundaries of the continent of North America.
North America and South America have edges that are not all plate boundaries. The boundary between North and South America is known as the Central American Subduction Zone, where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate.
North America is large enough for the US to fit within its boundaries.
The Mississippi and the Missouri rivers are on the continent of North America.
The largest desert in North America is the Great Basin Desert followed closely by the Chihuahuan Desert. It depends upon where the 'experts' draw the boundaries.
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.
