Countries/5 major Cities and Statistics North and Central America ha a total of 23 countries. 5 major cities: Chicago, Toronto, New York, Indianapolis, and Dallas The area is 24,709,000 km The population is 528,720,588 North America covers 4.8% of the planets surface and about 16.5% of its land area.

Climates North America has a tropical humid climate. It has no real winter; even the coldest month averages about 18 degrees Celsius, with summers of 27 to 28. North America, extending to within 10° of latitude of both the equator and the North Pole, embraces every climatic zone, from tropical rain forest and savanna on the lowlands of Central America to areas of permanent ice cap in central Greenland. Subarctic and tundra climates prevail in N Canada and N Alaska, and desert and semiarid conditions are found in interior regions cut off by high mountains from rain-bearing westerly winds. However, a high proportion of the continent has temperate climates.

Landforms Appalachian and Rocky Mountain, the Columbia and Colorado plateau, the Grand Canyon, the Florida swamps, Mt McKinley is the highest point, death valley is the lowest point.
