The RELIEVE map of America shows the physical geography of America, including its major landmasses and bodies of water. This map can be useful for educators who want to teach their students about America's geography.

• 00:00:00 In this video, we are going to learn about the main units of relief in America, America being a unique continent as it does not have any other that approaches from the polar circle to the polar antarctic. Along the coast from Alaska to Chile, there is a long, extensive mountain range resulting from the collision of tectonic plates. This results in America having a very diverse relief, from long rivers, such as the Amazonas, to hot deserts, such as the Atacama, and precious archipelagos, such as the Caribbean Islands. I have included the map of Vicente Vives that we will be using as a reference, though you are free to use any map of your own as this continent is very special due to the fact that we will need two maps instead of one in order to indicate the different relief units. First, we are going to orient the maps as always, with north upward and using reference points to know where we are. Here I would say that Brasil, Argentina, and the British Virgin Islands all lie here, though Argentina should technically be claim the Virgin Islands as their own. Moving on, I am going to draw a compass as I am not going to talk about above or below, but always
• 00:05:00 The map shows the physical features of America, starting with the highlands in South America, and moving on to the various rivers and lakes in North America. Finally, the map shows the physical features of South America, including the Amazon River and the Andes. North America is next, with the Atlantic and Pacific oceans shown beside it. Finally, the map shows Europe, Africa, and Asia.
• 00:10:00 The video explains the physical features of America, including the Strait of Bering, which humans crossed for the first time 25,000 years ago, and the Aleutian Archipelago to the south. It then moves on to describe the various islands in the area, starting with Vancouver Island, which can be identified by its size. Moving south, we find the Lower California Peninsula, the Gulf of California, and Mexico. The video then moves on to the Atlantic Ocean, discussing the various major lakes in North America. We then move on to the north, discussing the Great Lakes and the rivers that flow into them. We then move on to Alaska, describing the river Snake and its important tributaries. We then move on to Mexico, describing the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental. We then discuss Central America, describing the Isthmus of Panama and its canal. We then discuss North America's mountains, starting with Mount Ben Ali, the highest mountain in North America, and ending with Mount Logan, the second-highest mountain in North America. The video finishes by discussing one of the world's most important engineering projects- the construction of the Panama Canal. If you enjoyed the video, please share it with others, and check out the
