Belize

The distance from Alabama to Belize by sea varies depending on the specific departure and arrival points, but it is approximately 1,500 to 1,800 nautical miles. This journey typically involves navigating through the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The exact distance can be influenced by the chosen route and maritime conditions.

In 1984 the Central Bank of Belize issued a collection of 36 notes stamped on paper that was coated in gold foil to commemorate the 1st anniversary of independence. Despite having the words "legal tender in Belize" printed on the reverse, these notes are NOT legal tender, they cannot be exchanged for regular notes and it is technically illegal to export the currency.

Due to the export restrictions, any valuation would be speculative, however, the standard catalog of World Paper Money estimates each note to be worth about $10, although I have seen uncirculated examples of notes selling for $30-$70.

Oh, dude, in 1803, the British outpost built in Belize was called "Fort George." It was like their little slice of colonial paradise in Central America. I mean, who wouldn't want a fort named after a king chilling in the Caribbean, right?

One of the best places to stay in Belize is Ambergris Caye, known for its stunning beaches and vibrant marine life for snorkeling and diving. Another popular option is Placencia, offering a laid-back atmosphere with beautiful beaches and access to the Belize Barrier Reef. San Ignacio, located inland, is ideal for exploring ancient Mayan ruins and lush rainforests. Each of these locations offers unique experiences and accommodations to suit different preferences.

Oh, dude, yeah, they totally have Santa Claus in Belize! I mean, Santa is like the ultimate globetrotter, right? He's everywhere, spreading holiday cheer and giving out gifts like the jolly old dude he is. So, if you're in Belize during Christmas, don't worry, Santa will find you.

The salary for members of the Belize Coast Guard can vary depending on rank, experience, and qualifications. Generally, entry-level recruits can expect a starting salary of around $800-$1,000 USD per month, while more experienced officers can earn upwards of $2,000-$3,000 USD per month. It's important to note that these figures are approximate and subject to change based on various factors within the organization.

Short answer: There is none.

Longer answer: Belize is not within the postal jurisdiction of the USPS and therefore does not have US-style ZIP codes. Belize has its own postal system, which does not use postal codes.

One list that I've seen gives the ZIP code for Belize as 00106-4000. Even if that list is accurate, that's for internal USPS processing of international mail only and is not to be used in addressing mail to Belize.

There are many well known scientists in Belize, but some of the most famous are Dr. Otto Rodriguez, Dr. Melanie McField, and Dr. Gina Ebanks-Petrie.

33 tropical storms and hurricanes have hit Belize.

Belize is too close to the equator to be at a significant risk for hurricanes. The majority of the country is at fairly low elevations and is in a geologically active area, so the probability of tsunami is fairly high in coastal regions, and the low inland elevations and high rainfall make inland flooding likely.

Belize is located about 17 degrees north of the equator, which means it is not very close to the equator compared to other countries. This positioning gives Belize a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.

For the explorers this was proof that at one time, nearly 65,000 years ago, when the world was in the grip of the last major ice age, the sea level of the Bahamas was up to 150 metres lower than it is today. Over time the limestone of the islands was eroded by water and vast cave networks created. When sea levels rose again about 10,000 years ago some of these collapsed inwards and the Blue Holes were formed.

The most common rocks found in Belize are limestone and sandstone, as the country is known for its extensive limestone deposits. These rocks are typically found in the Maya Mountains and the Belize Barrier Reef. Additionally, some volcanic rocks can also be found in Belize, particularly in the southern region near the border with Guatemala.

Belize weather has average high temperatures ranging from 82 degrees Fahrenheit in January to nearly 90 degrees in the summer months.

The average monthly low temperatures (mainly at night) drop into the high 60's during the winter months and reach the mid 70's during the summer.

Belize gets quite a bit of rain, although the largest part hits in inland rain forests and less rain falls on the coastal areas. Rain is especially heavy from July through October. The rainy season extends from June to December (same as Hurricane season) and it is considered to be Winter.

Belize is a parliamentary democracy and a Commonwealth realm with the UK monarch as its ceremonial head of state. The Prime Minister is the head of government and holds executive authority. Currently, the Prime Minister of Belize is Johnny Briceño.

There are 9 different time zones in the US (four, if we just count the continental US).

Belize is in the Central Time Zone (UTC-6). That puts it in the same time zone as the US cities of Chicago, St. Louis, and Houston, among others, but not in the same time zone as New York City, Washington, Philadelphia or Miami.

The natural regions in Belize include the low-lying coastal plains along the Caribbean Sea, the Maya Mountains in the interior with dense tropical forests and diverse wildlife, and the northern savanna grasslands. The country also has mangrove swamps along the coast and barrier reefs making up part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System.

Football (soccer) is the most popular sport in Belize. It is widely played and followed throughout the country.
