Caribbean Islands

Yes, Saint Lucia does have some small coastal plains along its shoreline, particularly on the western side of the island. The majority of the island, however, is characterized by rugged, mountainous terrain.

The national flower of St. Maarten is the Ginger Thomas, which is a vibrant yellow flowering plant commonly found throughout the island. It is known for its bright color and ability to thrive in tropical climates.

The Caribbean islands were formed primarily due to the movement of tectonic plates, specifically the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. The collision and subduction of these plates led to the formation of volcanic arcs and uplifted coral reefs, contributing to the diverse geology of the region.

Hurricane Tomas devastated Saint Lucia in 2010. It caused widespread damage, flash floods, landslides, and destruction to infrastructure on the island. The storm resulted in several casualties and significant economic losses for the country.

Nevis last erupted around 100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene period. Since then, there have been no recorded eruptions on the island.

I've been working in St Lucia since 1989. Since then, 1, Tomas, which landed last November 2010. Folks tell me Tomas was a 30 year storm.

St Lucia is located on a sweet spot latitude wise. Storms coming across St Lucia normally are on St Lucia's latitude when half way across the Atlantic. And so due to the corlios effect (earth's spinning) the storms track North West and thus miss St Lucia. If such movement is blocked by a stationary high over Florida, then the storm track South West until no longer affected by the high, and then track North West. By then St Lucia is behind the storm

It's in the Caribbean, which is part of North America.

Many of the Caribbean islands were formed by volcanic activity along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly where the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate interact. This activity has led to the creation of volcanic islands and underwater mountain chains in the region.

yes they have...hurricanes are very common for the federation hurricane Hugo in 1989 was the worse tho with over 3000reported homeless and 11 deaths after which was hurricane George Marilyn Luis hose, Lenny, Omar and earl in 2010

St. Kitts is located approximately 17 degrees north of the equator. Using the Earth's circumference (approximately 24,901 miles), you can estimate that St. Kitts is around 1,640 miles from the equator.

The record high was 41.7º C recorded on February 22, 2004

No they do not have snow in St.Lucia it is too hot for snow there.

The volcano you are referring to is Mount Pelée. In 1902, it erupted and created a pyroclastic flow that destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre, killing around 30,000 people in a matter of minutes. It is one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions in history.

Grenada has a tropical climate, with warm temperatures year-round and a distinct rainy season from June to December. The island experiences occasional hurricanes and tropical storms due to its location in the Caribbean. The average temperature ranges from 75°F to 85°F.

The eruption of Mount Pelée in 1902 resulted in around 30,000 casualties, with the majority of them being fatalities. The exact number of injured individuals is not well-documented, but it is estimated to be in the thousands.

The population of Grenada did not decrease after Hurricane Ivan in 2004. However, many residents were displaced or left the country temporarily due to the widespread destruction caused by the hurricane.

The United States was one of the countries that responded to Grenada when Hurricane Ivan hit in 2004. The US provided aid, assistance, and relief efforts to help the affected population and support the recovery process.

No, there are no active volcanoes in Grenada. The last volcanic activity on the island occurred over 100,000 years ago, and Grenada is not known to have any currently active volcanic activity.

It is difficult to establish a shared sense of identity when it is essentially impossible to define the Caribbean geographically by any one factor.

For instance:

- Not all islands rimmed by Caribbean sea is part of Caribbean and some Caribbean countries such as Barbados, Guyana and Bahamas aren't part of the CS but are part of the Caribbean

-Longitude and Latitude provides a general and not at all specific location of the Caribbean, inevitably including islands which aren't referred to as part of Carib.

- National identity tends to take precedence over Caribbean or regional identity. for eg. look at defining of borders not only on land masses but within the CS itself

Basically the lack of cogency and no standard geographical definition make it difficult to produce that unified sense of space,and identity.

use those points to write your essay. :)
