Located atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates), Mexico is one of the most geologically active regions of Earth. This has resulted in a varied topography, which includes the three Sierra Madre mountain ranges, the Mexican Altiplano and the flat lands around the Yucatan Peninsula. Also, The Tropic of Cancer (23° 26' 22'' N) effectively divides the country into northern temperate and southern subtropical zones.

The Central Mexican Plateau or Mexican Altiplano is the largest landform in Mexico. It is delimited by the Sierra Madre Mountain ranges, and covers 30% of Mexico's territory. It is also home to almost 75% of the Mexican population.
