∙ 11y agoAll of the countries in Central America are technically categorized as being in North America. They are relatively small countries. Most have a coast line on the Caribbean Sea on the east and the Pacific Ocean on their western coastlines. They are not known as being mountainous. They contain tropical rain forests and are subject to large tropical hurricanes. When huge amounts of water from large hurricanes sweep on them from the Caribbean Sea, they sometimes cause huge mudslides which in the past have destroyed villages and caused the loss of many lives.
