We can regionalize the American continent into two regions:
Latin America: it is a region of America where languages derived from Latin are primarily spoken, particularly Spanish, Portuguese and, occasionally, French. Latin America comprises almost all of South and Central America on the continent.
Anglo-Saxon America: refers to countries on the American continent whose main language is English, and which also have historical, ethnic, linguistic and cultural ties with the United Kingdom.
Geographically, America is divided into two large portions: North America and South America, united by a narrow strip of land, called the isthmus or Central America.
The American continent is located among all the Earth's climatic zones: (polar, tropical and temperate), with the exception of the Antarctic polar zone.
The oceans that bathe the continent are: West is the Pacific Ocean, East is the Atlantic Ocean and to the North is the Arctic Glacial Ocean.
