Copper Canyon

, the deepest in North America. The highest point is

Cerro

Mohinora

at 10,662 ft (3,250 m) Sierra Madre Oriential range runs from northern Mexico to the Ciudad de Victoria. It is the eastern boarder of the Plateau de Mexico.Sierra Madre del Sur is a mountain range in southern Mexico, extending to eastern Oaxaca. Slide6

in the south, with the

Sierra Madre Occidental

mountain range on the west and the

Sierra Madre Oriental on the east. Slide9

Volcano

A long line of ancient volcanoes (many still active) extends from the Pacific Ocean (north of Guadalajara) on eastward to the Gulf of Mexico, just to the south of Veracruz.

Peninsulas

The mountainous

Península

de Baja California

extends about 750 miles south from the U.S. border. Mexico's limestone

P

de Yucatán

is tree-covered, with thick tropical jungles along its borders with Central America countries.

The Península de Yucatán separates the Golfo de Mexico from the Mar caribe. It is east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which is a geographic partition separating Central America from the rest of North America. Slide11

Rivers/Lakes

Mexico has nearly 150 rivers; most are small,

, and 70% drain into the Pacific Ocean. Two of the large rivers are the

Balsas

and

Conchos

.

The

Rio Grande, rising in the San Juan Mountains of the U.S. State of Colorado, flows south to the Gulfo de Mexico and forms much of Mexico's northern border with the United States. The two largest lakes in the country of Mexico are Lago de Chapala and Lago de Cuitzeo.Slide12
