Jamaica is considered part of the continent of North America. While it is an island nation located in the Caribbean Sea, geographically, it is associated with the North American continent.
The Caribbean islands, including Jamaica, are situated on the Caribbean tectonic plate, and they are often included in discussions of North America due to their proximity to the mainland and historical ties. Jamaica, being south of Cuba and west of Hispaniola, contributes to the diverse cultural and ecological landscape of the Caribbean region.
