Answer 1

We are in the North American Continent. We are just South of Canada, and just north of Mexico. They both share a boarder with the USA.

Answer 2

The United States is situated almost entirely in the western hemisphere: the contiguous United States stretches from the Pacific on the west to the Atlantic on the east, with the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast, and bordered by Canada on the north and Mexico on the south. Alaska is the largest state in area; separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, it touches the Pacific on the south and Arctic Ocean on the north. Hawaii occupies an archipelago in the central Pacific, southwest of North America. The United States is the world's third or fourth largest nation by total area, before or after China. The ranking varies depending on (a) how two territories disputed by China and India are counted and (b) how the total size of the United States is calculated: the CIA World Factbook gives 9,826,630 km² (3,794,083 sq mi),[1] the United Nations Statistics Division gives 9,629,091 km² (3,717,813 sq mi),[15] and the Encyclopedia Britannica gives 9,522,055 km² (3,676,486 sq mi).[16] Including only land area, the United States is third in size behind Russia and China, just ahead of Canada.[17] The United States also possesses several insular territories scattered around the West Indies (e.g., the commonwealth of Puerto Rico) and the Pacific (e.g., Guam).

The coastal plain of the Atlantic seaboard gives way further inland to deciduous forests and the rolling hills of the Piedmont. The Appalachian Mountains divide the eastern seaboard from the Great Lakes and the grasslands of the Midwest. The Mississippi–Missouri River, the world's fourth longest river system, runs mainly north-south through the heart of the country. The flat, fertile prairie land of the Great Plains stretches to the west, interrupted by a highland region along its southeastern portion. The Rocky Mountains, at the western edge of the Great Plains, extend north to south across the continental United States, reaching altitudes higher than 14,000 feet (4,300 m) in Colorado.[18] The area to the west of the Rocky Mountains is dominated by the rocky Great Basin and deserts such as the Mojave. The Sierra Nevada range runs parallel to the Rockies, relatively close to the Pacific coast. At 20,320 feet (6,194 m), Alaska's Mount McKinley is the country's tallest peak. Active volcanoes are common throughout the Alexander and Aleutian Islands, and the entire state of Hawaii is built upon tropical volcanic islands. The supervolcano underlying Yellowstone National Park in the Rockies is the continent's largest volcanic feature.

Because of the United States' large size and wide range of geographic features, nearly every type of climate is represented. The climate is temperate in most areas, tropical in Hawaii and southern Florida, polar in Alaska, semi-arid in the Great Plains west of the 100th meridian, desert in the Southwest, Mediterranean in Coastal California, and arid in the Great Basin. Extreme weather is not uncommon—the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico are prone to hurricanes, and most of the world's tornadoes occur within the continental United States, primarily in the Midwest's Tornado Alley.

It's a figment of your imagination that sometimes dwells in the consciousness of others. Just sometimes, though. Don't worry about it too much.

Answer 6

These are all located in a country named USA. 48 of them occupying the central portion of North American continent between Atlantic & Pacific Oceans; one state is an archipelago in mid North-Pacific (Hawaii) populated with people of Polynesian stock and the last one being a peninsula of perennial ice, on the north-western extremity of North American continent populated by Eskimo-like tribes and more so by grizzly and polar bears.

Answer 8

Answer 9

It's in the Western Hemisphere. If you look on the west side of the map, it's that big chunk of land. It's south of Canada, and north of Mexico. It's not located in the Oceania, that's more Australia, which is not close to the US. And the US is not an island! Hope that answers your question...
