QuestionAnswer
Why is the Lesser Antilles separated into Windward and Leeward?There is no valid geographical reason to call the southern end of this chain ‘Windward’ and the northern end ‘Leeward’, since the whole chain is subject to the prevailing north-east trade winds. Due to its complex history, different nations group the countries in a slightly different manner. This includes the Spanish, English, French and Dutch.
What is one reason why the geological definition is officially recognized as one of the main definitions of the Caribbean?The Caribbean is also identified collectively by the natural disasters (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes) and physical features (mountains). These unifying features enable us to identify the Caribbean using this criteria.
