Category: South America

Central America forms a narrow, mountainous land bridge that connects North and South America. In the east are the arches of the islands of the Greater and Lesser Antilles, which are separated from the mainland by the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.

America – topography and records
The continents of Asia, Africa and Europe are linked by land bridges. America, on the other hand, is isolated and has no mainland connections to other continents. The closest distance between Asia and America is in the Bering Strait. This shallow strait is around 80 kilometers wide at its narrowest point. At this point there was a fixed land connection at the end of the Ice Ages, as the sea level was significantly lower then than it is today. The natives of America are said to have reached and colonized the continent through them. The Atlantic Ocean lies between America and Europe or America and Africa. In geological terms, the border between the continents is to be located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which runs east of Greenland and rises above sea level in Iceland. Greenland therefore naturally belongs to America, even if it is politically and administratively linked to Denmark. In the south, between America and Antarctica, there is a 500-kilometer-wide sea connection between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean.
