» Climate

Due to its large size, can be found in U.S. examples of most of the world's climate . The great plains of the south, which are west of the Atlantic, often suffer the scourge of hurricanes and tornadoes. Plain topography is precisely what fuels these phenomena.

The tundra climate occurs in northern Alaska. It's the kind of climate in the country underrepresented.

The climate of the boreal forests appears throughout central Alaska, heavily modified by the country's mountainous terrain.

The humid continental climate appears basically east of the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains in the northern half of this region. Also on specific points west of the Rockies, but is very distorted.

The dry climate of the middle latitudes appears in the central regions of the United States east of the Mississippi River, and many of the depressions of the Rockies.

The maritime climate of the west coast has very little representation. It is limited to a narrow strip of the Pacific coast from northern California to the Canadian border, and on the coast of Alaska. The cause of this lean development is due to the proximity of the mountains to the coast.

The Mediterranean climate also appears in a very narrow strip of the West Coast, in central and southern California. As above, the limited development due to the immediate presence of high mountains.

The humid subtropical climate appears throughout the southeastern United States, from the southern half of the east coast to near the border with Mexico for much of the Gulf of Mexico, and quite penetrating inside the south of the central plains.

The dry subtropical climate is in the vicinity of the deserts of the southern United States, in the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

The dry tropical climate appears at particular points in the deep valleys of the southern Rockies and downwind of westerly winds. Do not have much but they are very significant development.

The monsoon climate and trade winds on the coast is in the southern tip of Florida, and is also very poorly represented.

» Currency

The local currency is the dollar. Monetary system follows the decimal system, the basic unit of the dollar, which can be divided into 100 cents. The most common tickets are $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50 and $ 100. They are all the same color and the same size. 1 cent coins are called "penny", 5 cents "nickel" 10 cent "dime" and 25 cents "quarter".
