This has resulted in a varied topography, which includes the threeSierra Madre mountain ranges, the Mexican Altiplano and the flat lands around the Yucatan Peninsula. Also, The Tropic of Cancer (23° 26' 22'' N) effectively divides the country into northern temperate and southern subtropical zones.

Due to its topography and extensive territory (1,972,550 square kilometers or 761,606 square miles, ranked 14th largest worldwide) Mexico has one of the world's most diverse climates, resulting in diverse types of vegetation: from scrub forests and deserts, to tropical rainforests, grasslands, plains and oak and pine forests.
