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.

What land form covers much of central Mexico?

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.
