Mexico

Popocatepetl was not "discovered" as it is a prominent volcano in Mexico that has been known to the indigenous populations for centuries. It has been an important cultural and geographical landmark for the region.

Baja California is sometimes called "Lower California" because it is located south of California in the United States. The term "Baja" means "lower" in Spanish, reflecting its position relative to California.

There is no time difference between Salt Lake City and Cabo San Lucas during about 11 months per year. However, Salt Lake City is 1 hour ahead during the times in which the U. S. is on Daylight Saving Time but most of Mexico is not, which are the 2nd Sunday of March to the 1st Sunday of April and the last Sunday of October to the 1st Sunday of November.

The smallest volcano in the world can be found in Cholula, Mexico. It is about the size of a two story house.

Mexico's climate varies by region, but in general, many parts of Mexico experience hot and humid weather year-round, especially along the coasts. However, some regions, particularly the central highlands, may have milder temperatures and varying levels of humidity. It's best to check specific destinations within Mexico for more accurate information on their climate.

Some natural resources in Queretaro include agricultural land for farming crops such as corn and grapes, minerals like gold and silver, and forests that provide timber and other wood products. Additionally, the region has deposits of minerals like gypsum, marble, and opals.

Most of Mexico is in the same time zone as US Central time. Most of the remainder of Mexico is in the same time zone as US Mountain time. The northern most part of Baha is in the same time zone as US Pacific time. (Daylight savings not taken into account.)

Popocatépetl is a steep-sided volcanic cone located 55 kilometers east of Mexico City, Mexico, and 45 kilometers west of the Puebla metropolitan area. More than 30 million people live within view of the volcano and hundreds of thousands of people would be endangered by hazards associated with a large explosive eruption of the volcano. A major eruption would have serious consequences for people living in communities on the flanks of the volcano, and ash from such an eruption could also endanger aircraft using Mexico City international airport. About 30 eruptions have been reported in historical time, although documentation is poor. Most historical eruptions were apparently restricted to mild-to-moderate Vulcanian steam and ash emission. The latest significant activity took place from 1920-22. Popocatépetl is known to have produced a number of Plinian eruptions since the beginning of the Holocene. Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking mountain, towers above Mexico City and is North America's 2nd highest volcano. The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a steep-walled, 250-450-meter-deep crater. The generally symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the northwest, a remnant of an earlier volcano. At least three previous major cones were destroyed by gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive debris-avalanche deposits south of the volcano. The modern cone was constructed in two stages. El Fraile volcano was formed prior to 10,000 years before present (BP) and was partly destroyed by three episodes of explosive activity, the last from about 5,000 to 3,800 years BP. The current summit of Popocatépetl was formed to the south of El Fraile cone by repeated lava effusions until about 1,200 years BP, after which the current, dominantly explosive phase began. Frequent historical eruptions have been recorded since the beginning of the Spanish era. Most historical eruptions were apparently mild-to-moderate Vulcanian steam and ash emissions, with larger explosive eruptions in 1519 and possibly 1663. Activity in 1920-22 produced intermittent explosive eruptions and a small lava plug in the summit crater. Minor ash clouds were also reported in 1923-24, 1933, 1942-43, and 1947. The volcano separates Mexico and Puebla Valleys, both with more than 20 million inhabitants. México City (population 18 million) and Puebla (population 2 million) are 70 and 60 kilometers from Popocatépetl.

Canada has 3,855,100 sq miles of property, the second largest in the world.

US has 3,794,100 sq miles of property, the fourth largest in the world.

Canada has a population of 35,540,419 residents, the 37th highest in the world.

This is approximately 9 residents per square mile, the 228th highest in the world (and the 18th lowest!)

US has a population of 318,968,000, the 3rd highest in the world.

This is approximately 84 residents per square mile, the 180th highest in the world (and the 52nd lowest.)

Therefore US has a higher population, but Canada has a higher property area.

It must be noted these figures include properties of land and waters.

If you subtract water properties and only include land, you get:

Canada: 3,511,023 sq miles of surface land (5th highest in the world)

US: 3,537,455 sq miles of surface land (4th highest in the world)

Canada has 8.93% of properties being of water, or 344,080 sq miles.

US has a varying amount of properties being of water, averaging 4.7% or 197,045 sq miles.

Colima is one of the states that conform the Mexican Republic. Its located in the central region of the country, near the neighboring state of Jalisco. The climate of the state is of the Tropical Savanna type, that presents high temperatures and dry conditions most of the time of the year, with a heavy rain period from June to October.

Actually, there are seasonal snowfalls in northern Mexico, such as near the US border in Juarez, and in higher elevations in the mountains of Mexico.

Central and southern Mexico has less snowfalls, and most regions close to the coast haven't received any snow for years due to their location, closer to the tropic.

It's known as the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Pacific Ocean.

If you mean, however, what is the thin but long peninsula that stretches along northwestern Mexico, it is known as the Baja California Peninsula. See related questions for further details.

Actually, Russia is closest. Big Diomede Island (Russia), and Little Diomede Island (US/Alaska) are two miles apart.

If you are talking about the lower 48 states, Cuba is the closest, about 90 miles from Florida.

The plants of Quintana Roo, Mexico, include a diverse range of tropical species such as orchids, palm trees, ceiba trees, and agave. The region's flora is adapted to the warm and humid climate, with many species endemic to the area due to its unique ecosystem. Conservation efforts are in place to protect the rich biodiversity of plant life in Quintana Roo.

Just like the United States, Canada or Europe, Mexico is composed of several ethnic groups and is considered to be a multicultural country. The southern state of Chiapas would be an example of this due to it having a very particular culture: out of a population of 4.8 million, almost 1.5 million is people from Mixe, Mayan and Chiapa Amerindian ethnic groups; also the Mayan language is common and many cultural traditions are preserved. This also carries some disadvantages, as one of the issues inherited from colonial times is the profound economic underdevelopment and lack of education found in the region: while Mexico's GDP per capita is around US$15340 (2011), Chiapas has a GDP per capita of only US$6046, putting the region on par to countries like Swaziland or Egypt in Africa; average number of years of schooling in Chiapas is 6.7, which is the beginning of middle school, compared to Mexico's average of 8.6; illiteracy is also rampant with 18% compared with the 7.2% of the Mexican average.

The best weather in Mexico is typically during the dry season, which is from November to April. This period usually offers sunny days with pleasant temperatures, making it an ideal time to visit Mexico for outdoor activities and sightseeing.

Oaxaca City in Mexico has an altitude of approximately 5,000 feet (1,520 meters) above sea level.

At its most southern point, Mexico is about 999 miles from the equator. Overall, the average distance from Mexico to the equator is 1,581 miles.

I was looking for the same thing (date and all for my wedding!) The closest I could find was for Cancun - 5:08pm. Hopefully that should help give you a good idea of the approximate time! Here is the link just in case you need it: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.htmln=923&month=11&year=2008&obj=sun&afl=-11&day=1 Best, - K

Bristol, Maine is in the Eastern Time Zone, and Cancun, Mexico is in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. The time difference between them is the same throughout the year, which is 1 hour - Bristol is 1 hour ahead of Cancun.

1hour. Example: 8 AM in Cancun, Mexico = 9 AM in Georgia, USA.

8pm in the UK is 2pm in Cancun.

The UK is in the GMT timezone and Cancun is in the GMT-6 zone. Both observe daylight savings and there is always a six hour time difference.
