Mexico

It is a huge impact crater of 180 kilometers (112 miles) in diameter, located in the northern Yucatan peninsula. After 65 million years of erosive forces, it can be hardly seen, barely being detected by measuring gravity anomalies and topographic differences nowadays.

On the other hand, the impact that created the Chicxulub crater had a destructive force equivalent to 100 teratons of TNT (7 billion times the force of the Hiroshima nuclear blast); a megatsunami of waves 5 kilometers (3 miles) of altitude and a cloud of ash and debris that covered the world for several years.

The Isthmus of Tehuantepec is a narrow strip of flat land in southern Mexico that connects the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. The Yucatan Peninsula is a large flat landmass in southeastern Mexico that juts into the Caribbean Sea.

Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula ranges in latitude from about 18.23° north to

about 21.63° north. You're free to draw as many or as few lines through

that range as you're comfortable with. There is no standard set of "lines"

that everybody must use.

At the top of Mexico, near the border with the United States, the climate is mostly arid and semiarid, characterized by hot temperatures with low precipitation levels. In areas like Baja California, you may find a desert climate with very little rainfall.

In the highland climates of Mexico and Central America, you can find landforms such as mountains, plateaus, valleys, and volcanoes. These areas are characterized by rugged terrain and high elevation, which contribute to their cooler temperatures compared to lowland regions.

Yes, Mexico is in the Central Time Zone (CT) or Mountain Time Zone (MT) depending on the region, while Virginia is in the Eastern Time Zone (ET). There is a one to two-hour time difference between the two depending on daylight saving time.

Because people live there. It's kind of recursive.

Always remember that there is a percentage of human behavior ... the exact percentage depends on how cynical you are ... for which "people are stupid" is an adequate explanation.

The Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in Mexico has been a prominent geographic feature for centuries and was known to the indigenous populations of the region long before the arrival of Europeans. Therefore, it was not "discovered" at a specific point in time, as it has always been part of the natural landscape.

The Yucatan peninsula is known for having numerous cenotes, which are natural sinkholes formed by the collapse of limestone bedrock. These cenotes are popular for swimming, snorkeling, and diving due to their crystal-clear waters.

It has a relatively large impact on Mexico's transport and communications. The hilly terrain has prevented any navigable rivers from forming in Mexico; also rail transport is difficult at certain points.

Mexico City is 2 hours ahead of Los Angeles most of the time, except for the 3 or 4 weeks per year when Los Angeles is on daylight saving time while Mexico City is not. During those weeks Mexico City is 1 hour ahead.

In Mexico City, zinc is commonly used for galvanizing steel structures to protect against corrosion, as well as for manufacturing electrical components, batteries, and zinc-based alloys. Additionally, zinc is utilized in the production of dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics in Mexico City.

Mexico City is on GMT-6 while Colorado is on the GMT-7 time zone. While it is 3:00 PM in Mexico City, it would be 2:00 PM in Colorado.

Common trees in Mexico include the Montezuma Cypress, Royal Poinciana, and Tabebuia. Popular flowers include the Dahlia, Bougainvillea, and Mexican Marigold. Common plants in Mexico are Agave, Nopal cactus, and Bird of Paradise.

Mexico is located in a seismically active region. On average, Mexico experiences thousands of earthquakes each year, but most are small and go unnoticed by people. However, Mexico does occasionally experience larger, more damaging earthquakes.

The Surenos are a gang that is under the Mexican Mafia along with other Hispanic gangs like Eighteen Street & MS-13. Crips have their own alliance called the Crip Alliance along with gangs like Hoover Criminals and a few others. Crips wear the colors blue and gray while Surenos wear the colors brown & white (any Sureno wearing blue is fake). Although they're two very different gangs they are close allies since they're both enemies of gangs under the Blood Alliance such as the Bloods, Pirus, Brims & Nortenos(who wear the colors red & black).

The southernmost point of Mexico is located at the latitude 14°32'04.53''N, meaning Mexico is a little more than 14.5 degrees north of the Equator, or at a distance of some 991 miles (1,595 Kilometers) from it.

San Antonio is located inland, far from the coast and the Gulf of Mexico, so it is unlikely for a tsunami in the Gulf of Mexico to impact the city directly. Tsunamis lose their strength as they move away from the source, and the geography of the region would likely prevent significant impact in San Antonio.

Maquiladoras are important to Mexico because they provide job opportunities for many people, especially in border regions. They also contribute significantly to Mexico's economy through exports of manufactured goods. Additionally, maquiladoras attract foreign investment and technology transfer.

Northern Mexico is dominated by the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, which are part of the much larger North American Desert. As such, the region is of arid or semi-arid nature, and water sources are hard to find.

Some geographical factors that might benefit industrial growth in Mexico include its proximity to the United States, access to key trade routes like the Gulf of Mexico, abundant natural resources such as oil and minerals, and a diverse climate that supports various industries. Additionally, Mexico's large land area allows for different types of industrial activities to thrive in different regions.

El Chichón is located within the North American Plate, which is not a boundary plate. It is a volcanic feature resulting from the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate.
