|
The Caribbean is a region consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands (most of which enclose the sea), and the surrounding coasts. The region is located southeast of North America, east of Central America, and to the north of South America.
Situated largely on the Caribbean Plate, the region comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs, and cays.
Also called the West Indies, since Christopher Co The geography and climate in the Caribbean region varies from one place to another. Some islands in the region have relatively flat terrain of non-volcanic origin. Such islands include Barbados, Antigua Turks and Caicos Islands, Cayman islands. Others possess rugged towering mountain-ranges like the islands of Dominica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Saint Vincent, and Trinidad & Tobago. |
The climate of the region is tropical.Warm, moist tradewinds blow consistently from the east creating rainforest/semidesert divisions on mountainous islands.Winters are warm and dry.
The waters of the Caribbean Sea host large, migratory schools of fish, turtles, and coral reef formations. Cricket is traditionally the main sport in the British West Indies (though others sports such as football, netball, basketball have challenged its dominance from around the 1990s onwards). Most of the countries and territories listed above field a combined cricket team called the West Indies cricket team or "Windies", which is one of the ten elite international teams that play at the Test match cricket-level. The British West Indies hosted the 2007 Cricket World Cup. The Caribbean has such variety and diversity with each island having its own uniqueness.
