Central America is the region of North America located between the southern border
of Mexico and the northwest border of Colombia, in South America. Some geographers
classify Central America as a large isthmus, and in this geographic sense it sometimes
includes the portion of Mexico east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, namely the
Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo.
However, Central America is much more commonly understood to correspond with the
nations between Mexico and Colombia.
The geology of Central America is active, with volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
occurring from time to time. In 1931 and 1972 earthquakes devastated Managua,
the capital of Nicaragua. Fertile soils from weathered volcanic lavas have made
it possible to sustain dense populations in the agriculturally productive highland
areas.
In this most common definition, Central America consists of the countries of:
* Belize
* Costa Rica
* El Salvador
* Guatemala
* Honduras
* Nicaragua
* Panama
Central America thus has an area of about 540,000 km² (208,500 square
miles), and a width between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea ranging
from about 560 km to about 50 km (350 miles to about 30 miles).
Additionally, there was a nation of Central America in the early 19th century,
consisting of the present day nations of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua,
and Costa Rica (and a portion of the modern Mexican state of Chiapas). This
was sometimes known as the United Provinces of Central America or the United
States of Central America.
The related term Mesoamerica (occasionally also called "Middle America")
is used in English mostly restricted to referring to the Pre-Columbian Native
American cultures of this region, which extended north into central Mexico.
