▶ In this video I talk about the territorial 'Belt' regions of the United States of America. When looking at a map of the US, you can divide it in various ways, including regions, states, counties, and urban vs rural areas. However, another interesting way is through "belts," which are regions sharing specific characteristics. Some well-known belts are the Rust Belt, known for its heavy industrialization and economic stagnation, and the Bible Belt, noted for its strong evangelical Protestant influence. These belts aren't formal divisions but rather labels for areas with shared traits. The term "belt" originally referred to agricultural regions following lines of latitude with similar climates, like the Corn Belt and Wheat Belt. Over time, the concept expanded to include economic, cultural, and climatic characteristics, leading to belts such as the Frost Belt and the Sun Belt. Each belt has its unique history and significance, reflecting the diverse nature of the United States.
