地理环境
编辑地理位置
该州特征有二:xxx,位于该州中部之冰碛平原,面积xxx而且完整。第二,该州是美国中西部各州往来必经之地,成为中西部“十字路口”。
该州北邻密歇根州。西北角滨密歇根湖。东界俄亥俄州。南毗肯塔基州。西与伊利诺州接壤。该州地形可分三区:一、北部是湖岸平原。二、中部是冰碛平原。面积xxx,且甚完整。三、南部多低丘浅谷。全州土地都可以生产。该州气候温和多雨,也有利于发展农业。玉米、大豆与猪,在各州中均列第三位。
地形地貌
全州平均高度为海拔200余米,最高点海拔383米,最低点海拔95米,地表较平坦。整个地势大体上由东北向西南倾斜。境内最高点在东部靠近俄亥俄州边界附近,海拔392米;最低点在沃巴什河与俄亥俄河汇合处,海拔95米。沃巴什河、俄亥俄河以及白河的东西两个支流顺势而下,构成密西西比流域的一部分。北部的圣约瑟夫河蜿蜒流入密歇根湖。北半部的湖泊星罗棋布。印第安纳大学周围地区和布朗县附近是全州风景最秀丽的地方。
按地貌全州可分为3个地理区:(1)北部是湖岸低地。密歇根湖沿岸沙丘成列,景色美丽。(2)中部平原区为冰碛层平原。因受沃巴什河(wabash R.)干支流的侵蚀,出现低丘浅谷。(3)南部是石灰岩地区,地面有明显丘谷地貌和溶蚀地貌,如溶洞、落水洞,有地下水系及矿泉。俄亥俄河两岸多悬岸,景色雄伟。州内除南中部丘陵区未遭受往日大陆冰川复盖、侵蚀与沉积外,其余地区全被冰川复盖过,并留下厚层的冰碛物。
气候
属大陆性湿润气候,四季分明。1月平均气温从南部埃文斯维尔的2℃降到北部绍斯本德的-4℃;两地的7月平均气温分别为26℃和23℃。南方和北方的年降水量、生长季节及冬季雪量均有明显的差异。年降水量由北部850毫米到南部1100毫米;生长季由北部160日到南部180日;冬季雪量由北部1米深到南部0.5米深。北方冷气团经过湖面时吸收大量水气,到湖以南寒冷地面上空时立即落雪,雪深时可埋没公路上的汽车。在一年中,雪期有时超过6个月,年平均降雪量508毫米以上。
人口民族
编辑综述
在美国,一个来自印第安纳州的人不被称为印第安纳州人(Indianer),而被称为胡希尔人(Hoosier),在中文里,这个词一般被译为印第安纳州人。
根据美国人口调查局2011年7月1日公布的统计数据,印第安纳州的人口6,516,922人,和2010年统计数据相比增长了0.51%。根据2010年数据,该州总人口6,483,802人,人口密度为69..9/平方公里。2012年,印第安纳州的人口的种族构成如下:84.3% 为白人(81.5%为非西班牙裔白人),9.1%为黑人(非洲裔美国人),6.0%为西班牙裔或拉美裔人(不论种族肤色),1.6% 为亚裔美国人,0.3%为印第安原住民,2.0% 为混合的种族(两种或两种以上种族混血)。在印第安纳的所有少数民族中,西班牙裔是增长速度最快的。该州24.9%的人口年龄在18岁一下,6.9% 人口年龄为5岁一下,以及12.8%人口年龄在65岁以上。该州人口年龄的中位数为36.4岁。2005年,77.7%的印第安纳人居住在较大的县市里,16.5%居住在较小的县市里,5.9%人口居住在无中心城市的县里。
印第安纳人口中xxx的族裔为德国裔,占总人口的22.7% 。美国裔(12.0%)、英国裔(8.9%) 、 爱尔兰裔 (10.8%) 和波兰裔 (3.0%)也拥有众多人口。调查中大部分美国裔其实是早期的英国后裔,不过因为他们的家庭在很早以前的殖民地时期早期就搬至了北美,所以在统计时就简单的划分成了“美国裔”。根据1980的人口普查数据,印第安纳总人口4,241,975人中,1,776,144人登记为德国裔,1,356,135人登记为英国裔,1,017,944人登记为爱尔兰裔,德国裔占总人口的42%,英国裔占32%,爱尔兰裔占24%。
印第安纳州的人口中心是汉密尔顿县的谢里登镇(Sheridan)。从20世纪90年代起,印第安纳波利斯周边的几个县的人口开始迅速集中,其中增速最快的四个县是:汉密尔顿县(Hamilton)、亨德里克斯(Hendricks)、约翰森县(Johnson)以及汉考克县(Hancock)。除这四个县以外,增速较高的还有迪尔本县(Dearborn County),该县临近辛辛那提。汉密尔顿县是印第安纳以及其邻近的几个州(伊利诺伊州、密歇根州、俄亥俄州、肯塔基州)增速最快的县,并且在全美人口增速的县中位居第20名。

小资料
编辑时区
美国绝大多数地区实施夏令时,印第安纳州由于地处美国东部时区西缘,州民决议不使用夏令时,以免夏季日落太晚,但西北角芝加哥(伊利诺州)附近(Jasper、Lake、LaPorte、Newton、Porter等五县)及西南角伊凡斯维尔附近(Gibson、Posey、Spencer、Vanderburgh、Warrick等五县)和美国中部时区一致,东南辛辛那堤(俄亥俄州)附近(Dearborn及Ohio等二县)及路易维尔(肯塔基州)附近(Clark、Floyd、Harrison三县)则和美国东部时区一致,意即在大城市附近的县和大城市一起作息。
因此,全州分成三个时区:1. 美国东部时间:辛辛那提及路易维尔附近 2. 美国中部时间:芝加哥及伊凡斯维尔附近 3. 印第安纳时间:其他地区(冬季与美国东部时间一致,夏季与美国中部时间一致)
2005年4月28日,印第安纳州议会决议自2006年4月开始使用夏令时,调整方式目前由联邦审查中。
