It is so large and has so many kinds of land， climate and people. It stretches 2，575 kilometers from north to south， 4，500 kilometers from east to west. The mainland of the country lies in central North America， with Canada to the north， Mexico to the south， the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. There are 50 states in the United States. The two newest states， Alaska and Hawaii， are separated from the continental United States： Alaska borders on northwestern Canada， and Hawaii lies in the central Pacific. All the other 48 states are on the mainland. The Face of the Land Much of the geography and history of the United States was determined some 10，000 and 25，000 years ago. At that time the northern part of the Central Agricultural Basin--one of the richest farming areas in the world， was created through the movement of the ice cap. Next the face of the American land will be described.
