| | A point of interest about the Gulf is that 65 million years ago, the Chicxulub crater was formed when a large meteorite hit the earth. | | | The gulf's coastal areas were first settled by Native American groups, including those representing several of the early advanced cultures of Mexico. | | | Because of the gulf's general warm temperatures, it has been visited many times by powerful Atlantic hurricanes, some of which have caused extensive human death and other destruction (see 2005's Hurricane Katrina, for example). |
