The USA
Pacific Ocean in the west. It covers the middle of the North American continent. This area is
called ,,the continental United states". The continental United States is bounded to the North
by Canada and to the South by Mexico. The border with Canada is often called ,,the longest
unguarded border in the world". The United States and Canada are good friends and they have
very few problems in managing the border. The borded with Mexico is different. Immigrants
are constantly crossing the border illegally. Every day about 2,000 of them are captured and
sent back, but may others get through. There are also two states that are not connected to the
continental United States. They are Alaska and Hawaii.
There are two mountain ranges in the continental Unitet States: the Appalachians in
the east and the Rockies in the west. In the very middle of the continent is the Mississippi
River
