The Mexican Plateau is a large, elevated region located in central Mexico, covering about 1,200 kilometers in length and 800 kilometers in width. It is bordered by the Sierra Madre Oriental to the east and the Sierra Madre Occidental to the west. This plateau is characterized by its diverse landscapes, including valleys, mountains, and deserts, and it sits at an average elevation of around 1,800 meters above sea level. The plateau is home to several important cities, including Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, and Guadalajara. The region has a rich cultural history, with ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs and Tarascans having thrived here. The climate varies from arid to semi-arid, making it suitable for agriculture, particularly in areas where irrigation is practiced.
