Mexico is known for its diversity in terrain, with high mountains and profound canyons in the focal point of the nation, clearing deserts in the north, and rich tropical jungles in the south and east. Mountains cover quite a bit of Mexico. Between the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range in the east and the Sierra Madre Occidental in the west falsehood little mountain ranges on the Central Plateau. These locales are inundated with key metals like silver and copper. The Yucatán Peninsula extends into the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico's southeastern tip. It was once the home of the Maya civilization, an ancient culture whose astonishing structures still tower the skies of today.
