Latin America includes the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking nations of the Americas and the Caribbean. Visit your course library and locate a map of North America and South America. On the continent of North America, Mexico and its neighbors to the south are part of the region known as Latin America, as well as all countries on the continent of South America. Select one country in Latin America that is of interest to you. Click on the Briefing Data link below and print out the list of categories and explanations. Using various resources available in your course library or elsewhere, gather facts about the country for each of the categories listed. View the following presentation called MLA Style Documentation to learn how to properly cite your sources. Text only version. You may also want to try this Latin America resource link. Create a separate table or report to present the data for the country.
and this is the briefing data,
Select one country in the assigned world region for this briefing. Look at the list of categories below. Select 20 categories--10 from List A and 10 from List B. Using various resources available in your course library or elsewhere, gather facts about the country for each of the 20 categories you select. You will find the CIA World Factbook particularly useful.
Detailed information about what data to look for is provided in the category explanations that follow. Organize the information you find and create a table for the country to present the data. Or, you may prefer to present the data in the form of a report. The data you provide in the table will help you complete Part 2 of this assignment.

Category Explanations
List A
Official Name of Country List the official name of each country in this briefing. The official name is often called the "conventional long form."
Popular Name of Country A shorter version of a country's conventional long form name is often its more popular name. Include the popular name for each country in this briefing.
Capital City Provide the name of the city that is the official seat of government for each country in this briefing. Usage Note: The term used for the city that serves as a seat of government is spelled capital. The term used for the building in which a legislative assembly meets is spelled capitol.
Administrative Divisions Countries are often divided into smaller units called states, provinces, or territories. There may be many such units, as in the 50 states of the United States of America, or there may only be a few such divisions. Provide the number of administrative divisions for each country in this briefing.
Other Major Cities Major cities are large population centers where important economic and social activities take place. Provide the names of three such cities for each country in this briefing.
Area Many of the statistics used in the study of geography have to do with the different areas of the earth's surface. The area of a country is the extent of the surface enclosed by its boundaries. There are several ways to measure area.
In the U.S. system, area is measured in square miles. A square mile is equal to a square in which each side is one mile long. A smaller area of land may be measured in acres. An acre is 43,560 square feet, or equal to a square in which each side is 208.7 feet long. There are 640 acres in one square mile.
The metric system is another way of measuring area. An area that is one square kilometer is smaller than a square mile because a kilometer is shorter than a mile. A smaller area of land may be measured in hectares. A hectare is equal to a square of land in which each side is 100 meters long. The following is a chart to help you convert measurements of area in the two systems:
To Convert: Multiply By:
Sq. miles to sq. kilometers 2.59
Sq. kilometers to sq. miles 0.3861
Hectares to acres 2.47
Acres to hectares 0.405
The sizes of countries vary considerably. Some countries are huge, such as Russia with a total of 6,592,735 square miles. Other countries are very small. Monaco, for example, is less than one square mile in area.
It is also important to consider that a country's area will probably include both land and water areas. Provide the figures that represent the land, watPlease do this assignment please 10 points?
