North and South America are two separate continents with a wide range of climates, physical features, history and cultures.
We will be using North and South America to learning about the difference between physical and human geography; the different biomes and climate zones; natural formations such as Niagra Falls, Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon; and tropical weather and disasters such as tornadoes and earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault line.
