Good afternoon/morning everyone. Today I will be talking to you about my adopted country, Argentina. Argentina is located in the southern hemisphere in the continent of South America. The coordinates are between 22ºs and 52ºs and between 74ºw and 55ºw. Argentina is the second largest country in south america, Brazil being the largest. Its bordering countries are Bolivia and Brazil to its north, Chile which is west of Argentina and to the east is Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil once again. The water boundary surrounding the country is the Atlantic Ocean. Argentina has provinces just like Canada does , the provinces are, Rio Negro, Buenos Aires, Santa Cruz, Chubut, La Pampa, Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Cordoba, San Juan, La Rioja, Santiago del estero, Catamara, Jujuy, Formosa, Corrientes, Santa fe, Entre rios and last but not least Salta. As you can see Argentina has many provinces but the majority of the people live in the northeastern parts of the country. One of the most well known places in Argentina is Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is also the capital of Argentina and the main city of Buenos Aires the province. Buenos Aires like any another city has a lot of tourist sites. There are still parts that are poor within city but Buenos Aires is probably the wealthiest city in Argentina. It has a very large university called Cludad and a well-known airport called the international airport of ministro pastarini. South America is surrounded by one major tectonic plate located right next to Chile it is called the South American plate. Even though it is not near Argentina, when there are earth quakes it usually affects Argentina.
