USA
To embrace the USA, as a country, as a land and culture, it is by all means, not
enough to talk about it. One has to physically tread on its ground to realize what
it is all about. Yet, it wouldn’t hurt anyone to know some factual details on USA.
United States sprawls upon the North American continent and the land is what makes
USA the rich and vibrant country we come to know over many decades. Naturally, American
people are not to be underestimated and their share in wealth creation would always
remain a landmark in the United States history archives.
The USA industrial foundation was established on production of incredible amounts
of its own raw materials, including oil, timber and iron ore, mostly concentrated
in agriculturally fertile California valleys. Three coasts washed by Atlantic, Pacific
oceans, together with the Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes and substantial river systems
have generated natural transportation network. Each of the 50 USA states is governed
by its own local authority organism and has its own flags, laws and traditions.
The USA geographic design forms the following views: the better part of the Gulf
of Mexico to the North of Canada continent, stretching over at least 1,500 miles
exhibits relatively plane surface. The Mississippi River Valley incises the central
part of this region and further to the west, rockier plane is observed. The western
third of the USA is covered with much higher mountains. Overall, the American west
is quite a diverse area with snow mountains, high plains, prairies and desert.
