Most of them are found in the Yucatan Peninsula. It is mostly a flat land composed of limestone. Due to this nature, there are almost no surface rivers in the peninsula and most water comes from these sinkholes in the ground known as cenotes.
The only common land-form throughout the region would be the Sierra Madre mountain range. However in terms of climates, such generalization is invalid. Mexico and Central have common climates, but Mexico has a large portion of its territory dominated by deserts, semi-arid and temperate highland forests (pines, oaks) that cannot be found in Central America. The climate akin to both regions would be tropical savanna (Koppen Aw and Am) and of course, tropical rainforests (Koppen Af) which would be found throughout southern Mexico and the coastal regions of Central America.
There are a variety of places throughout the world of course but New Orleans and area are covered in them. Answer: In areas of karst topography, where limestone has been eroded by the acididity and flow of rainwater.
On the central Mexican plateau, where temperate climates are found; especially along the Sierra Madre mountain ranges where coniferous trees are very common.

Sinkholes are most common in countries with limestone or other soluble rocks that are prone to dissolution. Countries such as the United States, Mexico, China, and Australia have reported frequent occurrences of sinkholes due to geological conditions like karst topography.
There is no "limestone plateau" in Mexico. You either refer to 1) The Mexican Central Plateau, which is an altiplano found in central Mexico where cities such as Mexico, Toluca Guanajuato or Queretaro are found or 2) the Yucatan peninsula, a flat land mostly composed of limestone that can be found on southeastern Mexico.

A plateau is not common in an area of karst topography. Karst topography is characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems resulting from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone, which typically form distinct landforms such as hills, towers, and valleys, but not plateaus.
No. Mexico is an independent country, south of the United States. More specifically, the country of Mexico shares a common border with the US states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Temperate, due to elevation. Oak and pine forests are common.
Yes, Florida is known for sinkholes due to its karst topography, characterized by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, causing the ground to collapse. Sinkholes are relatively common in Florida, particularly in areas with underlying limestone deposits.
