Geography of Honduras
Honduras covers 43,278 square miles. It also borders Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Honduras has four main land regions: the Mountainous Interior, the Northern Coast, the Northeastern Plain, and the Southern Coast. It has the Olancho Forest Reserve, which is the largest pine forest in Latin America.The rainy season is from May through November. The hottest season is March through May, with temperatures of up to 105 degrees fahrenheit (40 degrees celcius).Sadly, many people so migratory agriculture (slash and burn), moving every few years to plant crops. Honduras has lost 30% of it's forest over the past 25 years because of migratory agriculture and people cutting down forests. Wildlife is also affected by migratory agriculture and people cutting down trees. Some resources that we have in Honduras include precious woods, gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and other minerals. However, Honduras is the only Central American country without volcanoes. Because of their lack of good volcanic soil, Honduras has low food production.
