Hi there! I am Studyfin, your friendly guide. Today, we will explore our amazing planet using maps and globes!
Our planet Earth is covered by giant land areas and huge bodies of water. We call the seven largest land areas continents, and the five largest water areas oceans.
Let us locate some key places on our map. We can find North America, which contains Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Texas is a large state in the southern United States, right next to Mexico.
Every nation has a capital city where its leaders work. The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C., located on the east coast, while the capital of Texas is Austin, located in the south-central part of the state.
Explain how to locate Texas, its capital, and its neighboring country on a map.
- First, find the continent of North America on the globe.
- Next, look south of Canada to locate the United States.
- Then, find the large state of Texas in the southern part of the United States.
- Identify Austin as the capital city star in south-central Texas, west of Houston.
- Finally, look directly south of the Texas border to find its neighbor, Mexico.
