Explanation:

1- Pre-Columbian Mexico was the birthplace of many advanced Central American civilizations such as Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya and Aztec. In 1521, the Spanish Empire conquered and colonized the region on the basis of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, and established it as a new Spanish colony.

2- Florida is the southernmost state in the United States. The state capital is located in Tallahassee, the largest city is Jacksonville, and the largest metropolitan area is the Miami metropolitan area.

3- The Mississippi River, located in the south-central part of North America, is the largest water system in North America with a drainage area of approximately 3 million square kilometers. It is also the longest river in North America, with its source at Lake Itasca, 446 meters above sea level in northwestern Minnesota, flowing through the Great Plains and into the Gulf of Mexico.

4- Rio Grande is a river located in the south of North America. It has a total length of 3,034 kilometers and is the fifth longest river in the United States.

Originating in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, it divides New Mexico into two parts from the north to the south, and begins to become the boundary river of Mexico in El Paso until it is injected into the Gulf of Mexico.

5- Cuba is an archipelago in the northern Caribbean Sea. As the largest and most populous island in the Caribbean, Cuba abides by the sea route between the Panama Canal and the US East Coast.

6- Hispaniola is the second largest island in the Caribbean, with an area of 76,480 square kilometers, second only to Cuba. It is located in the southeast of Cuba, west of Puerto Rico. In 2014, it had a population of 21 million.

7- St. Augustine is a city in northeastern Florida and the seat of the county government of St. Johns County. In 1565, it was established by the Spanish expeditionist and commander Pedro Menendez de Aviles.

8- The Gulf of Mexico is a bay in the southern Atlantic Ocean of North America, separated from the outer sea by the Florida Peninsula, Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula.

9- The Caribbean Sea is a sea area in the tropical Atlantic Ocean in the Western Hemisphere.

10- The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world. It is divided into the North Atlantic and the South Atlantic from the north and south of the equator. The north is connected to the Arctic Ocean, and the south is connected to the Southern Ocean.

11- The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world's five largest oceans, covering an area of 181.3 million square kilometers. It extends from the Arctic Ocean to the Southern Ocean. It faces Asia and Oceania to the west and the Americas to the east. It covers about 46% of the Earth's surface.
