Visit North America

North America consists of three nations and one large island territory that encompass most of its area. They are Canada, USA, Mexico and Greenland. There are also 7 smaller nations at its southern around two dozen island nations and territories of various sizes in the Caribbean, and one isolated French territory off the Canadian Atlantic coast.
Although the Central American and the Caribbean regions are officially part of the North American continent, they are commonly listed separately from their larger neighbours to the north and hence the individual region names for both cultural and geographical causes.
In this continent many geographical places and manmade attractions attracts a number of visitors from outside this continent.

North America is the source of much of what humanity knows about geologic time periods. The geographical area that would later become the United States has been the source of further diversities of dinosaurs than any other modern country. This is primarily due to stratigraphy, climate and geography, human resources, and history. Much of the Mesozoic Era is symbolized by bare outcrops in the countless arid regions of the region. The most substantial dinosaur-bearing fossil deposit in North America is the Morrison Formation of the United States.
Before interaction with Europeans, the natives of North America were divided into many diverse civilizations, from trivial bands of a few families to large empires. They lived in several "culture areas", which roughly corresponds to topographical and biological zones and give a decent hint of the main lifeway or occupation of the people who lived there. Native groups can also be classified by their language family. Peoples with similar languages did not always share the same material culture, nor were they always allies.
