Mexican Geography
Mexico's Deserts
There are two deserts in Mexico. One of the two deserts is the Sonoran desert , it covers about 86,000 square miles of Mexico. There is also the Chihuahuan desert, which is much bigger as it covers approximately 176,700 sq mi of Mexico. Both deserts are very beautiful (especially when the sun sets), and they attract many tourists.
Mexico's Mountains
There are many different mountains in Mexico, ten of which are the most popular. These mountains attract tourists, one reason at different times of the day the mountains look very different. During the day the mountains look rather dry, and appear to be in a very sunny area. But on the other hand during the time when the sun sets the mountains look very different, and pretty. There are three main mountain ranges in Mexico. They are the Sierra Madre Occidental, the Sierra Madre Oriental, and the Sierra Madre del Sur.
Mexico's Bodies of Water
Mexico borders two oceans which are the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. The Gulf of Mexico is very beautiful and has many tourists stay in the hotels they have near the beach. But, the beach isn't extremely popular because of the devastating oil spill a few years back.
Seasons in Mexico
Mexico has seasons, but not winter, spring, summer, and fall. In Mexico the seasons are based on what kind of weather you can expect at that time of the year. In Mexico it is usually arid November through April. But it usually rains from May to October, sometimes it is also humid during this time of the year. Most of the time the humid part of the year and the rainy part of the year overlap, usually the humid part of the year is classified as May-July. Mexico is a big tourist attraction, and there is pretty steady tourism from Easter to around Christmas. The picture to the left depicts the rainy season of Mexico.
Severe Weather In Mexico
It's not very often that Mexico faces severe weather, usually the most "severe" it gets is a hard storm. It is typically warm during the day time, and chilly during the night. But the weather usually depends on what season it is.
