North America is the northern continent of the Americas, situated in the Earth's
northern hemisphere and in the western hemisphere. It is bordered on the north
by the Arctic Ocean, on the east by the North Atlantic Ocean, on the southeast
by the Caribbean Sea, and on the west by the North Pacific Ocean; South America
lies to the southeast. North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square
kilometers (9,540,000 square miles), about 4.8% of the planet's surface or about
16.5% of its land area. As of July 2008, its population was estimated at nearly
529 million people. It is the third-largest continent in area, following Asia
and Africa, and the fourth in population after Asia, Africa, and Europe.
North America occupies the northern portion of the landmass generally referred
to as the New World, the Western Hemisphere, the Americas, or simply America
(which is sometimes considered a single continent and North America a
subcontinent).
North America's only land connection to South America is at the Isthmus of
Panama. The continent is generally delimited on the southeast by the Darién
watershed along the Colombia-Panama border, or at the Panama Canal; according to
other sources, its southern limit is the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico, with
Central America tapering and extending southeastward to South America. Before
the Central American isthmus was raised, the region had been underwater. The
islands of the West Indies delineate a submerged former land bridge, which had
connected North America and South America via what are now Florida and
Venezuela. Much of North America is on the North American Plate.
The continental coastline is long and irregular. The Gulf of Mexico is the
largest body of water indenting the continent, followed by Hudson Bay. Others
include the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Gulf of California.
