The word “belt” is used to refer to an informal geographic area. The United States has about 20 belts including the Rust Belt, Cotton Belt, Bible Belt, Snow Belt, Sun Belt, Lead Belt, Black Belt, Unchurched Belt, Stroke Belt, and Corn Belt. Most of these belts derive their names from a common factor such as a common ailment, a common cash crop, the outstanding weather patterns, and a demographic pattern such as religion among others.
