WHAT DOES SUNBELT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sunbelt

Sun Belt

The Sun Belt is a region of the United States generally considered to stretch across the South and Southwest. Another rough boundary of the region is the area south of the 36th parallel, north latitude. The main defining feature of the Sun Belt is its warm climate with extended summers and brief, relatively mild winters. Within the Sun Belt areas of the U.S, deserts, Mediterranean, and humid subtropical climates can be found. The belt has seen substantial population growth since the 1960s due to an influx of people seeking a warm and sunny climate, a surge in retiring baby boomers, and growing economic opportunities. Also, over the past several decades, air conditioning has made it easier for people to deal with the summertime heat in the region. In recent years water shortages, droughts, and drug trafficking near the Mexican border have become a problem in the region.
