But the winter in the southern part of the United States is very warm and sunny. Spring and autumn are perfect for relaxing.
The southern coast of California always pleases with warm weather. On the coast of Florida and the Hawaiian Islands, the climate is maritime, tropical. From May to November, the islands are under the influence of tropical cyclones. At this time, the amount of precipitation is maximum. But, nevertheless, the rains are not long, and most of the time, nevertheless, the sun shines.

The official language of the country is English, but French and Spanish are also widely spoken. The population of the United States professes all religions of the world, however, the most common is Protestantism.
The population of the country has a number of features. For example, Americans do not like stiffness, they dress in clothes that are comfortable for them, without thinking too much about how they look. In communication, they address each other simply, even if there is a significant age difference between the interlocutors. And, of course, Americans are proud of their country and their origins.

The United States of America occupies the 4th place in the world ranking in terms of its size, second only to the territorially rich Russia, Canada, China and surpassing all of Europe.
The map of America resembles a patchwork quilt, as it consists of 48 continental states (combining several thousand cities), the governmental District of Columbia (Colombia) and 2 subjects that are separated from the mainland: in the Pacific Ocean (on an archipelago of 24 islands), the state of Hawaii is located (Hawaii); on the northwestern edge of the mainland - the state of Alaska (Alaska) with adjacent islands.
In addition to these areas, the United States owns several island territories scattered across the waters of two oceans.

Today, out of more than 100 diverse groups, three main ones can be distinguished: Americans, immigrants and natives. 
The multitude of professed religions is another peculiarity of the United States. The first visitors were Protestants from Europe, and it was this religion that had the main influence on the development of the country. More than half of the US population is Protestant. The proportion of Catholics is large - almost a quarter of the country's population. The remaining sector is occupied by a collection of other religions and non-believers.

The location of the United States is the southern half of the North American continent. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean wash the southern and southeastern coasts of America; water Pacific Ocean the southwest coast of the United States. The Bering Strait, which separates Alaska from Chukotka, serves as a maritime border with Russia. 
Access to two oceans: the Pacific and the Atlantic provides assistance in the development of transport and trade and economic ties, and also serves as protection from the hotbeds of military conflicts that are shaking the world today.
Leading economic situation country is due, not primarily, to natural wealth: a large length maritime borders, a colossal reserve of natural resources, an abundance of forest and water resources.
Significant resources of iron ore lie in the zone bordering Canada, not far from Lake Superior. Almost 90% of the total resource of the United States is located here. The deposits of beryllium ore are so large that they allowed America to enter the top five dominant powers in this area.
Particularly distinguished by the amount of beryllium ore, Utah (Utah). Bauxite deposits are concentrated in the regions of Hawaii, the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Virginia and Mississippi.
As for gold, here the Americans have a significant advantage, taking 3rd place in the ranking of powers with a supply of gold ores, losing only Russian Federation and the Republic of South Africa. The main gold-bearing resources of the country are located in the western and southeastern regions (Arizona, Alaska, Idaho, California, Utah and Nevada). 
The main reserve of lithium ores is found in the states of North Carolina (North Carolina) and Nevada. In Stillwater (Montana) concentrated reserves of platinum ores. In the mining areas of Missouri (Missouri) deposits of lead ores occur.
Zinc deposits are concentrated in the Mississippi Valley. In the state of Idaho, a reserve of silver ores has been discovered, accounting for 80% of the country's total reserve. The reserves of barite found in areas of the states of Virginia, Alabama, Nevada, Missouri, Georgia, Tennessee (Tennessee), Nevada allow America to take 3rd place in this area.
Ferrous metallurgy is concentrated in the states in the north of the country (Ohio, Indiana and Illinois). Asbestos deposits occur in the Appalachian Mountains and California.
In addition to a huge resource of industrial raw materials, a large supply of stones used as ornamental or precious stones (for example, chrysolite, jade, sapphire and tourmaline) is marked on the map of America. They are dispersed in areas close to cities and states in which the main mining operations are carried out.

The map of America with states and cities combines a variety of large and small administrative objects, each of which has its own history and distinctive feature.
US topographic map
America is the whole variety of reliefs. Here are plains, prairies, plateaus and mountain ranges.
Parallel to the Atlantic coast stretches the Appalachian mountain range, more than 2 thousand km long. The Hudson River crosses the Appalachians, dividing into northern and southern regions. In the south of the Appalachians, the Piedmont Plateau is located, known for its Stone Mountain monolith, whose height reaches 200 m and national park Great Smoky Mountain.
To the south and west, the surface is formed by lowlands intersected by large rivers. Closer to the west of the mainland lie the plains, called the Great Plains. Cordillera, one of the most significant mountain systems world, stretches across the entire west of the country and includes the Rocky Mountains, their most extended segment. 
The coast of the Pacific Ocean is covered by a series of ridges called the Coast Ranges. They include the Alaska and Sierra Nevada ranges, where the highest point of the mainland states, Mount Whitney (4.4 thousand), is recorded.
Separated from the ocean by a "line of waterfalls" lies the Atlantic Lowland, stretching all the way to Florida. In the western direction, to the Rio Grande, the Mexican lowland stretched. Approximately in the center of it lies the Mississippi Plain.
From the Great Lakes region to the Mexican Lowland region, from the Appalachian Mountains to the prairies, there is a plain that has received the name of the Central Plain. The steppe area between this plain and the western mountains is known as the Great Plain.
Mountain ranges, stretching from west to east, form the relief of the state of Alaska, where the Alaska Range turns into lowland. Recorded in Alaska highest point countries - Mount Denali (6.1 thousand). The Arctic Lowlands and the Yukon Plateau occupy the center of the state. 
The map of America with states and cities is filled with a large number of small and large bodies of water. The rivers, unevenly distributed over the land of America, flow mainly into the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. A large water reservoir is the Gulf of Mexico, which is part of the Atlantic.
The Mississippi with its tributaries Arkansas, Missouri and Ohio became the leading river artery of America. Those of them, whose length is several hundred kilometers, begin in the Appalachian Mountains and end in the center of the Mexican lowland.
Most of the rivers and lakes are dispersed in the eastern regions of the country. The territory includes the Great Lakes, the largest lake system in the world, consisting of five large freshwater lakes of the United States and Canada, located in the northern region of the country.
Used as a water and power resource, the Columbia River (more than 2 thousand km long). flows through the northwestern United States. Passing the largest on the planet grand canyon The Colorado River runs through the west of the country. Two large reservoirs are located above and below the canyon. 
The largest river in the Alaska Peninsula, the Yukon, flows into the Bering Sea. The map of America with states and cities is almost a third covered with forests, especially dense in the east of the country. The center of the country, from the Appalachians to Illinois, is remarkable for its massive hardwoods; oak, elm, ash.
The northern border of this woodland is made up of pines, while the south of the Appalachians is planted with firs. In the south of the country, in the Gulf of Mexico, swamp cypress and swamp pine grow, as well as several types of palm trees.
The slopes of the Cordilleras are abundantly covered with coniferous species, the slopes of the Appalachians are covered with broad-leaved species, which is facilitated by well-moistened coastal soils. The forest areas of New England are rich in pines (more precisely, its American representative - Weymouth pine) and deciduous trees.
The south of the Atlantic states is also covered with pine forests, where huge cypresses grow next to the pines. Orange trees grow in the forests of South Carolina and Georgia, climbing plants, including vines, are richly represented in the east of the country.
Huge expanses of steppes abound in tall and dense grassy vegetation. On the Great Plains, where the soil is drier, the vegetation is not as rich as in the coastal regions. On the salt flats across the Arkansas River, thickets of cacti begin. Almost tropical plants grow on the moist soils of the Mississippi Valley: corn, cotton crops, sugar cane.
Great Plain The hot climate of the south of the country is favorable for heat-loving crops, such as magnolia and camellia, and for fruit plants, persimmon and peach. In most of cold Alaska, only mosses and lichens grow, only the south of the peninsula is covered with pines.
The country's industry includes all major industries, for example, coal mining enterprises are present in 15 states; all 50 have enterprises that generate or process electricity rich in oil and gas reserves. Mining basins are located within the Rocky Mountains and the Cordillera, as well as in the vicinity of the Appalachian mountain range and at the junction of three oceans.
The state of Texas is distinguished by the accumulation of oil producing and oil refining enterprises. There is an accelerated development of nuclear energy. The level of development of the automotive industry in Detroit (Detroit) and engineering areas left far behind many leaders in this area. 
The aerospace industry is also widely represented in the country. Almost every state has enterprises in this sector of the economy; two stand out among them: Los Angeles, where the country's aerospace center is located, and Seattle, where the Boeing airliner facility is located.
The electronics industry is well represented in the US, but Silicon Valley (San Francisco), California stands out. A large number of enterprises developing and manufacturing computers and mobile devices are concentrated here.
At the heart of the continuous development of the American economy is the leadership of the country in the constant conduct of scientific research, development and production of the latest technologies.
With regard to funds mass media, then in this area the Americans are "ahead of the rest." In the United States, there are about 5 thousand radio stations and 8 dominant television networks. In addition, the press remains in demand, more often in electronic than in paper form.
The US defense industry is known for its anti-missile systems. Military establishment countries are equipped with the most modern views armaments, which allows America to maintain leadership in terms of spending and sales in this area.
The entire territory of the North American state is united by a highly developed transport system, including road, rail and air transport. The main means of transportation, according to statistics, is a private car. The United States has the longest and most extensive network highways in the world.
Route 66 The most famous of them was the main street America" highway number 66.
This highway crosses almost the entire territory of the States from the southwest to the northeast and has a length of about 4 thousand km. The second most popular highway was the SR 1 road. It gained fame due to the fact that it runs along the Pacific coast of California, one of the most beautiful in the world.
Its length is almost 900 km. Nevada Route 375 is notorious for being close to a recently declassified US military base.
The historic Oregon Highway, formed back in the 30s of the 19th century, is a road that connects the western part of the country with the Great Plains and has provided considerable assistance in conquering new territories. The total length of the US highway network is about 7 million km and includes local, state and federal roads.
The total length of the country's railways is 226 thousand km. It should be noted that as the automobile industry grew, the length of railways was almost halved.

Fourteen of them are National parks located in different parts of America:
USA climate map
The diversity of geographical conditions has given rise to the presence in the country of several climatic zones. Most of continental America is located in the subtropics.
The exception is the Alaska Peninsula. In its southern part, a temperate climate is observed; in the north, a polar subarctic climate reigns. The Hawaiian archipelago is located in the marine tropical zone, the areas of the California coast belong to the Mediterranean.
The map of America with states and cities is conditionally divided into two main climatic zones: west and east. Moisture-saturated warm air coming from Mexico causes a lot of precipitation and, as a result, the predominance of a humid climate. 
This is becoming characteristic of the eastern part of America. There are frequent weather changes and sharp temperature changes: cold winter months and hot summer months. It is possible to single out the area of New England, where dry, clear weather is often replaced by winds and rains.
The areas surrounding the Great Lakes (Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Idaho) and upstate New York are characterized by high humidity. If in the east of New England precipitation falls evenly throughout the year, then the states of Michigan and New York, located closer to the center of America, are characterized by strong snowstorms. 
In the northern part of the Atlantic coast (Maryland (Maryland), Virginia, Delaware (Delaware)), in the district of Columbia, as well as in the mid-Atlantic states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey (New Jersey), New York, there is a temperate climate. The temperate zone also includes the states of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, North Texas, Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, and southern Ohio.
In the northwest of the country, in the states of Oregon (Oregon) and Washington, the oceanic climate dominates: in the summer it is dry and warm, in the rest of the year the weather is cloudy. AT eastbound, behind the ridges of the Pacific mountains (Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, there is a dry continental climate.
Parts of southern California, the states of New Mexico and Arizona have a desert climate: during the summer months, the temperature rises to 40 ° C, in winter it drops to 41 ° C. Drought in summer and heavy snowfall in winter, characteristic of the Mediterranean climate, prevail in California. 
The climate in Alaska, the northernmost state, remains maritime along the Pacific coast; to the north of the peninsula, it passes into an arctic climate. In Anchorage, the state's largest city, temperatures range from +19°C in summer to -19°C in winter.
The Hawaiian archipelago lies in the zone of humid tropical climate. The temperature range is from +33 °C in summer to -29 °C in winter in the capital of Honolulu. 
Pacific coast winds bring moisture to the western regions. This area is characterized by a large amount of rain and snow. The average annual precipitation index here is one of the highest on the planet. California, lying south of the west coast and receiving most of its precipitation during the cold season, has entered the Mediterranean climate zone.
One of the factors influencing the weather of the west are the mountain ranges. The slopes of the mountains lying on the western side are more abundantly moistened than those on the other, leeward side. When heat reigns in the deserts all year round, cold and snow remain at altitude.
Favorable climatic conditions contributed to the formation of the States as an agrarian and grazing country and contributed a lot to economic prosperity.
State annexation map
The power of the state was created for more than one hundred years. The beginning was the discovery in the 16th century of the southern and North American continents. Following the representatives of these countries, Britain, Portugal and France came to the mainland. The first English colony in what is now the United States (Jamestown, present-day Virginia) was founded in 1607. 
By the end of the 18th century, almost all North American lands were metropolises (exploited territories) of Britain, England and France. The exception was some islands caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, belonging to northern European Denmark and Holland.
Some of the American metropolises were founded by the authorities of these states, some belonged to private businessmen or joint-stock companies. Complicated financial relations between the colonists and the owners of dependent lands, excessive government taxation and the strongest monopolization caused unrest in society.
One of the most famous was the Boston Tea Party in 1773. The struggle for secession from the mother countries of the 60s and 70s of the 18th century was called the "Wars of Independence" and is known as the American Revolution. In opposition to the policy of Great Britain, a Congress was convened, which included representatives of 13 colonies. 
In July 1776, representatives from 12 of the 13 colonies represented at Congress (with the exception of New York) voted for freedom from Great Britain. A document was adopted that declared independence, and became the basis of the Constitution of the young state (went down in history as the Declaration of Independence.).
At this congress, the united colonies for the first time called themselves the United States of America. The date of July 4 remains the main public holiday of the North American power even now.
In the post-revolutionary period, from 1786 to 1791, the Constitution (1788) was adopted, the federal authorities of the new state were created, and all the states that were part of it received official status.
The original composition of the United States (states):
The symbolism of the country still reminds of the first composition of the state. For example, 13 arrows, 13 leaves and 13 feathers are depicted on banknotes.; The American flag has 13 stripes.
The development of entrepreneurship required a constant increase in land holdings, besides, immigrants arrived in a continuous stream. The lands that gradually accreted to the United States were called "territories"; initially did not have state status and were not full members of the union.
Several colonies belonging to the governments of different countries joined the Union, separating from the possessions of which they were part. Thus, the states of Vermouth, Kentucky and Virginia became part of the state at the end of the 18th century. Earlier, in 1790, the District of Columbia was allocated for government needs.
The state of Tennessee was the first to be formed in the lands under the same name, and joined the newly formed union in 1796. The states, Mississippi, Maine, West Virginia, and Florida became part of the United States between 1817 and 1863.
In what became known as the Northwest, the states of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and parts of Minnesota were formed during the early to mid-19th century.
At the very beginning of the 19th century (1803), a territory was acquired from the government of France by the young state, covering the banks of the Mississippi and called Louisiana. The deal, recognized as the largest in the history of the United States, almost doubled the territory. At first, the borders of this region of the country did not have precise outlines. 
Now these lands are:
- northern Texas;
- northeastern New Mexico;
- partly the state of Louisiana (Louisiana);
- most areas of the state of North Dakota (North Dakota);
- almost all areas of South Dakota (South Dakota);
- most areas of Montana;
- eastern regions the state of Colorado;
- southern areas of Minnesota;
- part of Wyoming;
- the entire state of Oklahoma;
- the entire state of Missouri;
- the entire state of Nebraska;
- the entire state of Arkansas;
- the entire state of Iowa (Iowa);
- the entire state of Kansas.
In August 1848, the Oregon Territory was organized. The western regions of the states of Montana and Wyoming, the states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington formed later on this land. Alaska, acquired from the Russian tsarist government in the second half of the 19th century, received state status only in 1959.
The lands of the state of Texas, formerly belonging to Mexico, declared independence and were proclaimed a republic in 1836. Nine years later, in 1845, the congresses of the United States and Texas adopted a joint decision on the forcible annexation (annexation) of this territory, which served as the basis for the start of the Mexican War. 
One of the outcomes of this military conflict was the cession by the Mexican government of the territories, which later formed the States of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, California and Nevada.
The Pacific Territories (Hawaii, Wake Island, Eastern Samoa, Puerto Rico) became possessions of the States at the end of the 19th century. In 1959, Hawaii acquired statehood and became, to date, the last state to become part of the United States.
Exceptionally favorable geographical and, as a result, economic position of the country; the richest Natural resources; access to two oceans; remoteness from the centers of hostilities; neighborhood with peaceful, often dependent states and a huge human potential made this North American state one of the most powerful among the leading world powers.
The United States is the main financier and permanent member of the UN Security Council, has influence in the 8 leading world powers, has a significant voice in the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, which allows the state to occupy a dominant position in the Western community.
The set of cities and states scattered across the map of America represent a country with a full range of resources: natural, economic, administrative, political, cultural and human; richest and always interesting to study.
