Excerpt from The Foreign Trade of Latin America, Vol. 2 of 3: A Report on the Trade of Latin America With Special Reference to Trade With the United States; Commercial Policies and Trade Relations of Individual Latin American Countries, Section 17, Mexico The extensive area covered by Mexico and the wide range in eleva tion make its climate one of the most varied within a single national boundary. In general, there are two seasons, the rainy and the dry, but the amount of rainfall varies considerably with the altitude and the latitude. In the tropical coastal plains, and in the subtropical regions extending up to about feet, the climate is hot and humid, and rainfall averages between 80 and 100 inches annually. The heaviest precipitation occurs on the plains along the Gulf. The typical vegetation in these areas consists of palms, ferns, and dense jungles. In the arid subtropical regions yucca, cacti, and mesquite predominate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
