What are the 48 continuous states?

Answer:

The word is contiguous. The 48 contiguous states are the states located on the North America continent that are between Canada and Mexico.

Sometimes they are referred to incorrectly as the 'continental' United States. Continental is incorrect because Alaska is also on North America.
