North America, the third-largest continent, extends from the tiny Aleutian Islands in the northwest to the Isthmus of Panama in the south.
North America’s physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately.
North America and South America are named after Italian navigatorAmerigo Vespucci. Vespucci was the first European to suggest that the Americas were not part of the East Indies, but an entirely separate landmass. The portions of the landmass that widened out north of the Isthmus of Panama became known as North America. oh and if this helped could you give me a brainlest please? Thanks have a nice day.
