How big is the contiguous United States? What is the area of the United States

The United States is the second largest country in the Americas, and its territory includes the continental United States, Alaska in northwestern North America, and the Hawaiian Islands in the central Pacific Ocean. The area is 9372610 square kilometers (including 10,000 square kilometers of land area and 200,000 square kilometers of inland water area), if you add about 170,000 square kilometers of the United States sovereignty part of the Great Lakes, and about 100,000 square kilometers of coastal waters such as estuaries, harbors, and inland seas, with an area of 9.63 million square kilometers, if you only count the land area, the United States ranks third, second only to Russia and China, and before Canada.

The continental United States (48 states and the District of Columbia) has 8.08 million square kilometers, of which 7.66 million square kilometers are land and 10,000 square kilometers are water.

The United States has a land area of 9.37 million square kilometers, and the continental land area of the United States is 9.17 million square kilometers.

The original land area of the United States was 9.37 million square kilometers.

However, the size of the United States is quietly growing, according to the World Factbook released by the United States

The area of the United States has become 10,000 square kilometers, which has surpassed that of China.

According to the US ** Intelligence Agency.

The explanation is mainly for the Great Lakes of North America. The Great Lakes of North America is the world's largest group of freshwater lakes, that is, the general name of five connected lakes in North America, including Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, also known as the Great Lakes, with the "North American Continent Mediterranean."

called. In addition to Lake Michigan, which belongs to the United States, the remaining four lakes of the Great Lakes in North America all span the United States and Canada.

The total area of the United States is 9,370,000 square kilometers.

The United States of America (English: theunitedstatesofamerica, unitedstates, abbreviated as "the United States") is a federal republican constitutional state composed of Washington, D.C., 50 states, and many overseas territories.

The United States is a highly developed capitalist country, in two world wars, the United States and other allies emerged victorious, after decades of cold war, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, became the only superpower, in the economy, culture, industry and other fields are in the leading position in the world.

The United States was originally inhabited by Indians, and at the end of the 15th century, Spain, the Netherlands, France, and England immigrated here.

According to the data released by the U.S. Intelligence Agency, the U.S. land surface area is 9,631,418 km 2; (excluding ** marketing, Puerto Rico and other overseas territories in turmoil),

The United States has an area of 9372615 square kilometers.

I checked the figures on the land area of China and the United States, and the problem became more complicated. According to Microsoft's Encarta Encyclopedia, China has an area of 9,571,300 sq km, while the United States has an area of 9,629,047 sq km, and the number also clearly states that the United States is the third largest country in terms of area after Russia and Canada. The Encyclopædia Britannica records an area of 9,572,900 sq km in China and 9,518,287 sq km in the United States.

The Columbia Encyclopedia of the United States records that China has an area of 9,561,000 sq km, and the United States has an area of 9,166,598 sq km, and the United States is the fourth largest in the world. According to the data found in the US Intelligence Agency, the total area of China is: 9,596,960 sq km of which the land area is:

9,326,410 sq km The water area is: 270,550 sq km, and it is specifically noted that the area of China is slightly smaller than that of the United States. The total area of the United States is:

9,631,418 sq km with land area of: 9,161,923 sq km and water area of: 469,495 sq km .

After checking so much information, it is said that it is very authoritative, but it is still unclear who is the third largest country in terms of area, China or the United States. China's area is only 2-30,000 square kilometers away from 9.6 million, while the area data of the United States is very different, and it is estimated that the water area is calculated differently, and the five northern lakes of the United States, shared by Canada, have a total area of 245,660 sq km. The Columbia Encyclopedia's U.S. may only be the size of the land.

The area of the United States announced by our country is 9372615 square kilometers.

According to the interpretation of the US ** Intelligence Agency, it is mainly the Great Lakes of North America. The Great Lakes of North America is the world's largest group of freshwater lakes, that is, the general name of five connected lakes in North America, including Sushan Lake Billier, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, also known as the Great Lake, known as the "Mediterranean Sea of the North American Continent".

American culture. From the 30s of the 20th century to the Second World War, the United States initially formed the foundation and framework of the cultural industry; In the middle of the 20th century, the American cultural industry entered a period of rapid development; After the 80-year Xiaoqiao Dynasty, with the deepening of the degree of cultural commodification, the United States, relying on its economic, technological and intellectual advantages, began to dump cultural products to other countries in the world, especially to developing countries.

In the 90s, with the continuous deepening of economic globalization, the barriers of cultural industries in various countries have been broken, and the wave of mergers and acquisitions of enterprises is surging, and a number of super multinational cultural industry groups have emerged in the United States to lead the development of the global cultural industry.

Since there is no official language of federal status, some states have made English an official language, but English is the de facto official language, and there is no unified official language for the entire federation.

As a result of years of campaigning to make English an official language, 31 of the 50 states in the United States have passed legislation to make English the official language, and a number of other states have introduced bills to do so, but there has been considerable resistance. There are 3 states that recognize other languages as parallel to English: French in Louisiana, Hawaiian in Hawaii, and Spanish in New Mexico.
