actually its like that.... Mexico, USA, Canada are part North America, from Belize to Panama (central America) from Colombia to Argentina/Chile (south America)... thats how its.
the islands like Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti etc are the greater antilles and the rest a bit more in the south are the lesser Antilles.
historically speaking from mexico to argentina/chile is LATINAMERICA (not south america)
and there are 2 hemispheres divided in Ecuador, the countries above ecuador are in the North Hemisphere and the ones Below are in the South Hemisphere !!
IS NOT THAT HARD... but I guess my highschool education in a 3rd world country was more advanced.
