    South America
    Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition South America is a continent A continent (from the Latin "continere" for "to hold together") is a large continuous mass of land in the planet Earth. There is no single standard for what defines a continent, and therefore various cultures and sciences have different lists of what are considered to be continents. In general, a continent must be large in area, consist of non-submerged land, and have geologically significant borders. While some consider that there are as few as four or five continents, the most commonly used counts are six or seven.
    Click the link for more information. crossed by the equator In geography, the equator is an imaginary line drawn around a planet, halfway between the poles, where the surface of the roughly spherical planet is parallel to the axis of rotation. The equator divides the surface into the Northern hemisphere and the Southern hemisphere. The latitude of the equator is by definition. The length of Earth's equator is about 40070 km. On the equator, the Sun is directly overhead at noon on the days of the equinox. Furthermore, every day is close to 12 hours long there. At night, all stars appear to trace out a half circle centered at the southernmost or northernmost point of the horizon.

The chief port and largest city of Ecuador and one of the best ports along Latin America's Pacific coast, Guayaquil has industries manufacturing textiles, leather goods, cement, alcohol, soap, and iron products. Through its modern harbor are shipped cacao, coffee, and bananas, the principal exports of Ecuador. Between 1970 and 1990 the city's population nearly doubled. Guayaquil was founded by the Spanish conquistador SebastiAn de BenalcAzar in 1535. It was often subjected to attacks by buccaneers in the 17th cent. and in the 18th and 19th cent. was destroyed repeatedly by fires. The occupation of the city in 1821 by patriot forces under Antonio JosE de Sucre was the first major step in Ecuador's final liberation from Spain. The fateful meeting between SimOn

    GENERAL INFORMATION
    GEOGRAPHY
    Located on the Northern coast of South America, and bordered by Venezuela on the West, Suriname on the East, and Brazil on the South, Guyana has a land area slightly smaller than Idaho. Originally called British Guyana, it received its independence from the UK in 1966. Its terrain is mostly rolling highlands, with a low coastal plain, and a savannah in the South. The many rivers contain frequent water falls, making water navigation almost impossible except for short distances. Its climate is tropical, hot and humid, with two rainy seasons (May to mid-August, mid-November to mid-January). Of its total land mass, 83% is forest and woodland. Though 3% of its land is arable, none is dedicated to permanent crops. Mining communities scattered throughout the jungle mine bauxite, gold, diamonds and hardwood timbers.
    PEOPLE
    Guyana s total population is 723,774. Of its population 62% lie between the ages of 15 to 64, with only 5% over the age of 65. In spite of the fact that its birth rate of 19.41 births per 1,000 is higher than its death rate of 7.34 deaths per 1,000, it has a negative population growth of -0.81%. This is explained by the fact that the net migration rate is negative at -20.19 migrants/1,000 population (1995 estimate). The infant mortality rate is: 47.7 deaths per 1,000 live births. Ethnically diverse, Guyana has an East Indian population of 51%, black and mixed 43%, Amerindian 4%, European and Chinese 2%. Diversity of religions also is a characteristic with its population being Christian 57%, Hindu 33%, Muslim 9%, and other 1% . Its official language is English, but Amerindian dialects are spoken throughout the interior. Of those age 15 and over, 96% have received some type of education.
