Mexico

Mexico's topography is characterized by a remarkable diversity, featuring rugged mountains, expansive plateaus, and lush coastal plains. The Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental mountain ranges run parallel to the country's western and eastern coasts, respectively, creating a central highland known as the Mexican Plateau. This plateau, which extends approximately 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) from the U.S. border to central Mexico, varies in elevation and is surrounded by lower coastal regions. Additionally, Mexico is home to significant geographical features such as Pico de Orizaba, the highest peak at 18,491 feet (5,636 meters), and the lowest point at Laguna Salada, which sits 33 feet (10 meters) below sea level. The terrain transitions from arid deserts, like the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, to tropical rainforests in the south, providing a wide range of ecosystems and climates throughout the country.
