The Americas are the lands of the Western hemisphere or New World which cover 8.3% of the Earth's total surface area (28.4% of its land area) and contain about 14% of the human population. The term the Americas is a relatively recent alternative to the term America, which is ambiguous as it may refer to either this entire landmass or just the United States of America.
The Americas is often divided into North, Central, and South America. North America includes the USA and Canada. Central America includes Mexico in the north to Panama in the south as well as the Caribbean Island nations. South America includes Colombia and Venezuela in the north to Argentina and Chile in the south.
