Mexico today is one of the most interesting countries in our world; from the features of the territory such as the highlands and mountain ranges, to the culture that Mexicans practice in their daily lives. The connection between physical and human geography in Mexico goes hand in hand. Therefore, in this article I will identify the different aspects of physical and human geographical ideas and practices that Mexico possesses. The physical geography of Mexico is very rare due to the vast and different landforms that make up this country. Mexico has a wide range of landforms, including many different plateaus and two distinct mountain ranges. The two main mountain ranges include the Sierra Madre Orientale and the Sierra Madre Occidental (“Mexico”). These two ranges are located in northeastern Mexico and the western border of Mexico, respectively. The highest peak of the mountain is covered in snow due to its altitude and is called Mount Orizaba. Mexico also includes much smaller mountain ranges and even a variety of volcanoes. With all of these different landforms, plate tectonics are thought to be the cause of the large differences in landforms across the country (“Geography and Climate of Mexico”). Mexico is one of the richest mining regions in North America. Its vast reliefs create stability for mineral and rock formations to ensure their transformation into resources. Even though many resources remain to be explored in Mexico, around sixty different minerals have been discovered, including silver (“Mexico Rocks and Minerals”). Silver is one of the most common resources in Mexico and it is estimated that about 1/3 of all money on earth comes from ...... middle of paper ...... ry and the daily lives of its citizens. .Works Cited “Animals in Mexico.” Animals in Mexico.
