USA: Where is this country of 50 states?
USA (capital - Washington), with an area of 9629091 sq. Km, occupies the mainland of North America. The United States is bordered by Mexico in the south, and Canada in the north. In addition, the United States and Russia have a maritime border: it passes through the Bering Strait. In the northern part of the United States it is washed by the Arctic Oceans, in the western - the Pacific, and in the eastern - the Atlantic Oceans.
The eastern part of the country is occupied by the Appalachians, to the west of which there are low-lying areas with large American rivers flowing through them. Further westward, the prairies and plains spread.
