描寫美國地理環境的英文
⑴ 用英語介紹美國地理
我是用中文來介紹美國西南地區的:
西南部,由得克薩斯西部、俄克拉荷馬部分地區、新墨西哥州、亞利桑那州、內華達州和加利福尼亞南部的部分內陸地區組成。
西南部的氣候比較乾燥,人口較少,西班牙裔美國人和土生土長的美國人較多。城市以外的地區空曠遼闊,許多地方為沙漠。壯觀的大峽谷就位於這個地區,此外,還有莫紐門特谷地,許多西部片都以此作為荒涼而美麗的背景。莫紐門特谷地位於納瓦霍族保護區內,這里棲息著人口最多的美洲印第安部落。 西南部部分地區一度屬於墨西哥。美國在1846-1848年的墨美戰爭之後獲得了這片土地。這兒的墨西哥遺產仍對該地區產生著重大影響,對從遙遠的南方來的移民(無論是合法的還是非法的)來說,這兒是一個方便的定居點。該地區的人口正迅猛增長,尤其是亞利桑那州,它作為尋找溫暖氣候的美國退休人員的目的地, 可與南方諸州相匹敵。

⑵ 關於美國地理(用英文介紹)
The total land area of the contiguous United States is approximately 1.9 billion acres. Alaska, separated from the contiguous United States by Canada, is the largest state at 365 million acres. Hawaii, occupying an archipelago in the central Pacific, southwest of North America, has just over 4 million acres.[17] After Russia and Canada, the United States is the world's third or fourth largest nation by total area, ranking just above or below China. The ranking varies depending on how two territories disputed by China and India are counted and how the total size of the United States is calculated: the CIA World Factbook gives 3,794,083 sq mi (9,826,630 km2),[1] the United Nations Statistics Division gives 3,717,813 sq mi (9,629,091 km2),[18] and the Encyclopedia Britannica gives 3,676,486 sq mi (9,522,055 km2).[19] Including only land area, the United States is third in size behind Russia and China, just ahead of Canada.[20]
The Teton Range, part of the Rocky Mountains
The coastal plain of the Atlantic seaboard gives way further inland to decious forests and the rolling hills of the Piedmont. The Appalachian Mountains divide the eastern seaboard from the Great Lakes and the grasslands of the Midwest. The Mississippi– River, the world's fourth longest river system, runs mainly north–south through the heart of the country. The flat, fertile prairie of the Great Plains stretches to the west, interrupted by a highland region in the southeast. The Rocky Mountains, at the western edge of the Great Plains, extend north to south across the country, reaching altitudes higher than 14,000 feet (4,300 m) in Colorado. Farther west are the rocky Great Basin and deserts such as the Mojave. The Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges run close to the Pacific coast. At 20,320 feet (6,194 m), Alaska's Mount McKinley is the country's tallest peak. Active volcanoes are common throughout Alaska's Alexander and Aleutian Islands, and Hawaii consists of volcanic islands. The supervolcano underlying Yellowstone National Park in the Rockies is the continent's largest volcanic feature.
⑶ 美國的地理環境特徵
位置
美國本土位於北美洲中部,位於西半球,領土還包括北美洲西北部的阿拉斯加和太平洋中部的夏威夷群島等。其北與加拿大接壤,南靠墨西哥灣,西臨太平洋,東瀕大西洋。海岸線22,680公里。大部分地區屬於溫帶大陸性氣候,南部屬亞熱帶氣候,西部沿海地區分布有溫帶海洋性氣候和地中海氣候。中北部平原(中央大平原)溫差很大,芝加哥1月平均氣溫-3℃,7月24℃;墨西哥灣沿岸1月平均氣溫11℃,7月28℃。全國最低點為死亡谷(Death Valley,-86 米),位於美國加利福尼亞洲的東南方,與內華達州接壤;最高點為麥金利山(Mount Mckinley,6,198 米),位於阿拉斯加州的中南部,是阿拉斯加山脈的中段。
氣候
美國幾乎有著世界上所有的氣候類型(地跨寒、溫、熱三帶,本土處於溫帶),在主要農業地帶少有嚴重的乾旱發生、洪水泛濫也並不常見,並且有著溫和而又能取得足夠降雨量的氣溫。 影響美國氣候的主要是北極氣流,每年從太平洋帶來了大規模的低氣壓,這些低氣壓在通過內華達山脈、洛磯山脈、和喀斯喀特山脈時夾帶了大量水分,當這些氣壓到達中部大平原時便能進行重組,導致主要的氣團相遇而帶來激烈的大雷雨,尤其是在春季和夏季。有時這些暴雨可能與其他的低氣壓會合,繼續前往東海岸和大西洋,並會演變為更激烈的東北風暴(Nor'easter),在美國東北的中大西洋區域和新英格蘭形成廣泛而沉重的降雪。大平原廣闊無比的草原也形成了許多世界上最極端的氣候轉變現象。
水文
美國從總體上可分為三大水系:凡位於落基山以東的注入大西洋的河流都稱為大西洋水系,主要有密西西比河、康涅狄格河和赫得森河,密西西比河是美國的母河。其中密西西比河全長6020公里,居世界第四位。凡注入太平洋的河流稱太平洋水系。主要有科羅拉多河、哥倫比亞河、育空河等。北美洲中東部的大湖群——五大湖。包括蘇必利爾湖、密歇根湖、休倫湖、伊利湖和安大略湖,屬冰川湖,總面積24.5萬平方公里,為世界最大的淡水水域,素有「北美地中海」之稱,其中密歇根湖屬美國,其餘4湖為美國和加拿大共有。蘇必利爾湖為世界最大的淡水湖,面積在世界湖泊中僅次於裏海而居世界第二位。五大湖湖水匯入聖勞倫斯河,流入大西洋。

中文翻譯:美國是世界上非常重要的大國,其國土面積位於世界第四位,僅次與俄羅斯、加拿大和中國。美國位於北美洲,鄰國有加拿大和墨西哥等,美國領土還包括瀕臨北冰洋的阿拉斯加和太平洋的夏威夷。美國經濟和科技實力目前在世界無人可以望其項背,是當之無愧的超級大國。
美國的氣候具有多樣化的特點。美國本土所處的緯度大約在北緯25°到49°之間,除佛羅里達半島南端為熱帶氣候外,都為溫帶和亞熱帶氣侯。降水量不平衡,一般說來,東部濕潤,西部乾旱。東北部沿海和五大湖地區,受拉布拉多寒流和北方冷空氣影響,冬季寒冷,1月份平均氣溫為-6℃左右,夏季較溫和,多雨,7月份平均氣溫為16℃左右;年平均降水量約1000毫米。中部大平原區,由於地形南北敞開,冬季寒冷氣流可長驅南下,夏季炎熱的南風可不斷吹進,因而冬季寒冷,夏季炎熱。靠近北部一帶,l月份最低氣溫可達-40℃,7月份最高氣溫可達45℃。年平均降水量一般在500~1000毫米。東南部和墨西哥灣沿岸為亞熱帶氣候。受墨西哥灣暖流影響,溫暖濕潤,1月份平均氣溫為9℃左右,7月份平均氣溫為24~27℃。夏末初秋墨西哥灣沿岸常有颶風侵襲,造成災害。年平均降水量在1500毫米以上。西部內陸高原,氣候乾燥,冬季寒冷,夏季炎熱,年平均降水量在500毫米以下,高原南部的荒漠地帶降水量不到250毫米。太平洋沿岸北部是海洋性氣候,冬暖夏涼,雨量充沛,l月份平均氣溫在4℃以上,8月份平均氣溫不超過14℃,年平均降水量在1500毫米以上。太平洋沿岸南部屬地中海型氣候,冬季溫暖多雨,夏季乾燥悶熱,1月份平均氣溫為12℃,8月份超過22℃,年平均降水量為300~500毫米。阿拉斯加約有1/3位於北極圈內,屬寒帶,氣候乾燥寒冷。東南部太平洋沿岸因受阿拉斯加暖流的影響,氣候較溫和濕潤。夏威夷群島地處熱帶,氣候炎熱。一般來說迎風的東北坡降水豐富,背風的西南坡乾燥少雨,個別迎風坡年降水量可達12000毫米.

⑻ 求英文介紹美國環境
The United States is situated almost entirely in the Western Hemisphere: the contiguous United States stretches from the Pacific Ocean on the west to the Atlantic Ocean on the east, with the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast; it is bordered by Canada on the north and Mexico on the south. Alaska is the largest state in area; separated from the contiguous United States by Canada, it touches the Pacific on the south and the Arctic Ocean on the north. Hawaii occupies an archipelago in the central Pacific, southwest of North America. After Russia and Canada, the United States is the world's third or fourth largest nation by total area, ranking just above or below China. The ranking varies depending on how two territories disputed by China and India are counted and how the total size of the United States is calculated: the CIA World Factbook gives 3,794,083 sq mi (9,826,630 km2),[1] the United Nations Statistics Division gives 3,717,813 sq mi (9,629,091 km2),[16] and the Encyclopedia Britannica gives 3,676,486 sq mi (9,522,055 km2).[17] Including only land area, the United States is third in size behind Russia and China, just ahead of Canada.[18] The United States also possesses several insular territories scattered around the West Indies (e.g., the commonwealth of Puerto Rico) and the Pacific (e.g., Guam).
The Teton Range, part of the Rocky Mountains
The coastal plain of the Atlantic seaboard gives way further inland to decious forests and the rolling hills of the Piedmont. The Appalachian Mountains divide the eastern seaboard from the Great Lakes and the grasslands of the Midwest. The Mississippi– River, the world's fourth longest river system, runs mainly north–south through the heart of the country. The flat, fertile prairie of the Great Plains stretches to the west, interrupted by a highland region in the southeast. The Rocky Mountains, at the western edge of the Great Plains, extend north to south across the country, reaching altitudes higher than 14,000 feet (4,300 m) in Colorado. Farther west are the rocky Great Basin and deserts such as the Mojave. The Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges run close to the Pacific coast. At 20,320 feet (6,194 m), Alaska's Mount McKinley is the country's tallest peak. Active volcanoes are common throughout Alaska's Alexander and Aleutian Islands, and Hawaii consists of volcanic islands. The supervolcano underlying Yellowstone National Park in the Rockies is the continent's largest volcanic feature.[19]
The bald eagle has been the national bird of the United States since 1782
The United States, with its large size and geographic variety, includes most climate types. To the east of the 100th meridian, the climate ranges from humid continental in the north to humid subtropical in the south. The southern tip of Florida is tropical, as is Hawaii. The Great Plains west of the 100th meridian are semi-arid. Much of the Western mountains are alpine. The climate is arid in the Great Basin, desert in the Southwest, Mediterranean in coastal California, and oceanic in coastal Oregon and Washington and southern Alaska. Most of Alaska is subarctic or polar. Extreme weather is not uncommon—the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico are prone to hurricanes, and most of the world's tornadoes occur within the country, mainly in the Midwest's Tornado Alley.[20]
The U.S. ecology is very diverse: about 17,000 species of vascular plants occur in the contiguous United States and Alaska, and over 1,800 species of flowering plants are found in Hawaii, few of which occur on the mainland.[21] The United States is home to more than 400 mammal, 750 bird, and 500 reptile and amphibian species.[22] About 91,000 insect species have been described.[23] The Endangered Species Act of 1973 protects threatened and endangered species and their habitats, which are monitored by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. There are fifty-eight national parks and hundreds of other federally managed parks, forests, and wilderness areas.[24] Altogether, the government regulates 28.8% of the country's land area.[25] Most of this is protected, though some is leased for oil and gas drilling,[26] mining, or cattle ranching.
The United States is a multicultural nation, home to a wide variety of ethnic groups, traditions, and values.[7][175] There is no "American" ethnicity; aside from the now small Native American and Native Hawaiian populations, nearly all Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries.[176] The culture held in common by most Americans is referred to as mainstream American culture, a Western culture largely derived from the traditions of Western European migrants, beginning with the early English and Dutch settlers. German, Irish, and Scottish cultures have also been very influential.[7] Certain cultural attributes of Mandé and Wolof slaves from West Africa were adopted by the American mainstream; based more on the traditions of Central African Bantu slaves, a distinct African American culture developed that would also deeply affect the mainstream.[177] Westward expansion integrated the Creoles and Cajuns of Louisiana and the Hispanos of the Southwest and brought close contact with the culture of Mexico. Large-scale immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from Southern and Eastern Europe introced many new cultural elements. More recent immigration from Asia and especially Latin America has had broad impact. The resulting cultural mix may be described as a homogeneous melting pot, or as a pluralistic salad bowl in which immigrants and their descendants retain distinctive cultural characteristics.[7]
While the mainstream culture holds that the United States is a classless society,[178] scholars identify significant differences between the country's social classes, affecting socialization, language, and values.[179] The American middle and professional class has initiated many contemporary social trends such as modern feminism, environmentalism, and multiculturalism.[180] Americans' self-images, social viewpoints, and cultural expectations are associated with their occupations to an unusually close degree.[181] While Americans tend greatly to value socioeconomic achievement, being ordinary or average is generally seen as a positive attribute.[182] Though the American Dream, or the perception that Americans enjoy high social mobility, plays a key role in attracting immigrants, some analysts find that the United States has less social mobility than Western Europe and Canada.[183]
Women now mostly work outside the home and receive a majority of bachelor's degrees.[184] In 2005, 28% of households were married childless couples, the most common arrangement.[185] Same-sex marriage is contentious—several states permit civil unions in lieu of marriage. Between 2003 and 2008, the supreme courts of Massachusetts, California, and Connecticut ruled those states' bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. The California ruling was superseded by a state constitutional amendment, approved by voters in November 2008, that defines marriage as between a man and woman; the legality of the amendment is currently being contested in court. Between 2004 and 2008, voters in 13 other states approved similar constitutional bans on same-sex marriage.

⑽ 美國的地理環境
美國是美洲第二大的國家,領土包括美國本土、北美洲西北部的阿拉斯加和太平洋中部的夏威夷群島。面積9372610平方公里(其中陸地面積915.8960萬平方公里,內陸水域面積約20萬平方公里),如果加上五大湖中美國主權部分約17萬平方公里,河口、港灣、內海等沿海水域面積約10萬平方公里,面積為963萬平方公里,如果只計陸地面積,美國排名第三,僅次於俄羅斯、中國,在加拿大之前。
中央情報局《世界概況》1989年至1996年初始版美國總面積列明9,372,610平方公里。1997年變更至9,629,091平方公里,2004年變更至9,631,418平方公里,2006年至9,631,420平方公里。 美國國土地形變化多端,地勢西高東低。東海岸沿海地區有著海岸平原,南寬北窄,一直延伸到新澤西州,在長島等地也有一些冰川沉積平原。在海岸平原後方的是地形起伏的山麓地帶,延伸到位於北卡羅來納州和新罕布希爾州、高1830米的阿巴拉契亞山脈為止。
阿巴拉契亞山脈以西是美國中央大平原,地勢相對平坦,五大湖和密西西比河—密蘇里河流域——世界上第四大的河域也位於這里。在密西西比河以西,內部平原的地形開始上升,最後進入美國中部面積廣闊而地形特色稀少的大平原。
在大平原西部則有高聳的落基山脈,從南至北將美國大陸一分為二,在科羅拉多州的最高峰到達4270米。西海岸地區有內華達山脈和海岸山脈。以前落基山脈還有頻繁的火山活動;現在只剩下一個區域(懷俄明州黃石國家公園的超級火山—可能是世界上最大的活火山)。美國最高的山峰是麥金利山,海拔6193米,也是北美洲第一高峰。 美國自然資源豐富,礦產資源總探明儲量居世界首位。煤、石油、天然氣、鐵礦石、鉀鹽、磷酸鹽、硫磺等礦物儲量均居世界前列。其他礦物有銅、鉛、鉬、鈾、鋁礬土、金、汞、鎳、碳酸鉀、銀、鎢、鋅、鋁、鉍等。戰略礦物資源鈦、錳、鈷、鉻等主要靠進口。森林面積約44億畝,覆蓋率達33%。
截至2010年底,美國已探明原油儲量206.8億桶,居世界第13位。已探明天然氣儲量7.716萬億立方米,居世界第5位;已探明煤儲量4910億短噸,居世界第一。2011年美國原油產量20.65億桶,進口41.46億桶,出口10.67億桶。天然氣產量28.58萬億立方英尺,進口3.46萬億立方英尺,出口1.51萬億立方英尺。
