he United States occupies a large area in the central part of the North American Continent. Winters in the northern part of the country are long and cold. In the South, winters are much shorter. Average temperature in January is mild. As the northern part of the country has such long winters, the growing season is quite short.
In the South the growing season is much longer. In fact, in some of the states it is nine months long. The climate of these places is affected by other things besides the distance from the Equator. Landforms also affect climate. For example, a great belt of mountainous land stretches along the western edge of North America, from Alaska south to Panama. Some of these mountains are so high that snow can be seen on their peaks even in summer. Summer days are often bright and warm in the mountains, but the nights are cold. The growing season is far shorter than in the lowlands.
