Geographical position of
the USA
The
USA is the
4th largest country in the
world (after Russia, Canada and China). It is situated in
central North
America and stretches
from the
Pacific to the Atlantic
Ocean. It borders on Canada in the
north and Mexico in the south and has a sea-border with Russia. It
also includes Alaska and Hawaii.
The total area of the
country is 9.4 million square kilometers. The enormous size of the
country influences the diversity of landscape, climate and even
people.
The West is a mountainous area
of the Rocky
Mountains, the
Cordillera and the Sierra
Nevada. The highest peak
is Mount
McKinley in Alaska(6,000
meters).
As compared
with the
Appalachians in the east, the Rocky
Mountains are sharp and rugged, over 4,000 meters high, rich in
gold, copper, lead, silver and other
minerals.
The longest rivers
are the
Mississippi (6,400 kilometers), «the
father of waters», the
Missouri(1,600
kilometers), the
Colorado wild, restless and
angry, the
Columbia full of quiet dignity
and the Rio
Grande (3,200 kilometers), a
national boundary between the USA and Mexican sizes. The largest
state is Alaska.
The Colorado
forms the Grand
Canyon, which strikes one's
imagination as a fabulous phenomenon of nature. Its perpendicular
walls go up to 1,500 meters above the river level. The USA has
thousands of lakes of all kinds
The Great
Lakes make up the largest
group; they are the greatest collection of fresh water lakes in the
world with the total area equal to that of Great Britain. They are
Lakes Huron, Erie, Ontario, Michigan, Superior. Here the
famous Niagara
Fallsprecipitate from the height of
50 meteres. Among salty lakes the Great Salt
Lake in Utah and the Salton

Grammar.
We generally use either 'the'
or 'no article' with geographical names in English. There isn't a
lot of logic! We just need to learn if we need 'the' or 'no
article' for each kind of place.
We use 'no article'
with:
Lakes: We visited Lake
Geneva.
Mountains: I saw Mount Fuji
from the aeroplane.
Continents: She loves living
in Asia.
Most countries: She travelled

Netherlands, the Philippines, the United Kingdom / the
UK.)
Counties, states, provinces,
regions: They live in California.
Cities, towns, villages: He
stayed in Paris for a week last year.
Islands: Bali is popular with
Australian tourists.
We use 'the'
with:
Rivers: The River Nile flows
through Egypt.
Mountain ranges: We ski in the
Alps every year.
Deserts: She travelled across
the Sahara.
Oceans and seas: We sailed
around the Mediterranean.
Groups of islands: They went
