El Salvador
Land and Resources
El Salvador consists of a central plateau, cut by river valleys and lying between two volcanic mountain ranges that run east to west. A narrow Pacific coastal belt is less than 24 km (less than 15 mi) wide. High, rugged mountains are found in the extreme northwest. The plateau has an average elevation of about 610 m (about 2000 ft). The highest point in the republic is the Santa Ana volcano, 2385 m (7825 ft) above sea level. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common. The largest river, the Lempa River, is partially navigable.
Climate
El Salvador lies within the tropics; the climate, however, is moderated in many regions by high elevation. The climate of the coastal strip is tropical; that of the plateau and highlands is semitropical and temperate; the mountain regions have a temperate climate. The average annual rainfall is about 1830 mm (about 72 in), and the rainy season lasts from May to October. The average annual temperature of San Salvador, the capital, is 23.9° C (75° F).
