Question

friday

1. picture the location of the state of hawaii. why isnt it shown on the map of north america?

1. picture a world map. if you sailed directly east from the united states across the atlantic ocean, on which two continents could you land?

Explanation:

1. Hawaii is geographically separated from the mainland North American continent by a large stretch of the Pacific Ocean, lying far southwest of the contiguous U.S. Most standard North America maps focus on the main continental landmass and nearby regions, so Hawaii's remote location makes it impractical to include at a scale that shows the rest of North America clearly.
2. Sailing directly east from the U.S. across the Atlantic Ocean, the first major continent reached is Europe. Continuing eastward, the next continent you would reach is Africa, as the Atlantic Ocean borders both these continents to their west.

Answer:

1. Hawaii is located far southwest of the North American mainland in the Pacific Ocean, so it is too remote to be included on most standard North America maps focused on the continental landmass.
2. Europe and Africa
