Is it Palm? Is it Kush? What’s goin on out there in that Marshall Island ring?

I was looking around Nevada a bit and I saw these weird shapes. Does anyone know what these are? And why so many? There are much more than the picture shows.

Mt Caubvick (Mont D’Iberville) is the highest peak in Quebec and located in the northern Torngat Mountains. Looking at satellite imagery, we can clearly see crevasses on one ice sheet and a bergschrund on the other indicating that the ice is indeed moving. So why is it widely considered that there are no glaciers on the (mainland) east coast?

Just curious if other redditors know of the island of Newfoundland? (where i’m from) or anything about it. Anytime I tell someone that’s not from there about it they’ve never heard of it. Now come to think of it the majority of them have been American. Could potentially have something to do with it lol.

The Boreal Forest in Canada could be the same size or larger size than some countries, larger than the Amazon Rainforest. It has a million lakes inside the forest and has the Canadian Shield.

Hi everyone, and welcome back to The American Atlas, where I make hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. Apologies for the delay since Arkansas. The start of a new school year is a hectic time for us teachers, but here we are back on track! 🗺️🇺🇸

This is my map of Oklahoma, the Sooner State! 🌾🌅🐎

While mapping Oklahoma, I realized just how much variety there really is in this state. From the open plains and prairies of the west to the forests to the rolling hills in the east, Oklahoma has a surprisingly diverse landscape.

Full of bigger cities like Oklahoma City and Tulsa to the Native American heritage of places like Guthrie and Enid, the cowboy history throughout the state, and the rugged terrain of the Wichita Mountains in the southwest, it is clear from mapping this state that there is much more to Oklahoma than meets the eye.

Let me know in the comments, what’s your favorite fun fact about Oklahoma?

And if you like this style, feel free to check out my others, and thanks for taking a look at my Oklahoma map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

In the late 1800s there was a major river regulation project in Hungary, where they regulated the Tisza river to it's current state, which was a good idea at the time, because since it was a mainly agricultural economy and this allowed a lot more land to be cultivated and it climate change was not an issue. Today however it's causing massive droughts which will get even worse in the future.

First Picture:

• Light blue: Areas covered by water for longer or shorter periods during floods
• Darker blue: Areas permanently under water, or under water for most of the year
• Dark blue: Present-day lakes

Second Picture:

• Green: No drought
• Yellow: Mild drought
• Orange: Moderate drought
• Red: Severe drought
• Dark red: Extreme drought

Here is a higher res image for the first picture

I commute from my home to work and encounter this on my way. I reside in State of Madhya Pradesh in India. The white line beneath the Plaque is the Tropic of Cancer

Currently a sophomore taking mostly Geography courses and a bit lost on what to do now and after college. So yeah im very lost rn.

Ive noticed how for degrees like business and data science there are a lot of competitions and ways to feel like you are progressing in your field.

But for social sciences there seem to be none? And most of the time I feel like Im simply learning theory and it is not going to help me in the future.

The geography options here are not great, every course is a different topic and beside technical courses there isn't like a clear progression on knowledge. And since there are so few sophomore level classes I had to take electives from environmental sciences to fulfill credit

But I can't help but think none of it is going to help me unless I commit to a minor in environmental sciences

However the issue is most likely that I have no idea where my interest is (which is why I am in Geography), I like studying social sciences but it doesn't seem to end anywhere

Everyone around me is saying I should have studied more economical subjects like law or even pivot to sociology and get a government job or full investment in GIS (which I am staying but struggling )

And when they ask me why Im even in my major I can only answer that I like reading Geography papers and I think the topics are interesting????

Im not even sure what internships should I apply for and what jobs I can get after if Im continuing my curriculum, which is a mix of GIS, human and physical geogrpahy and a LOT of free electives in other subjects

Now I have a few options

- take more free electives to explore other potential interests

- swap majors (geography is a social science here and I could also study psychology and sociology etc, ive taken intro psych and sociology and i dont hate it)

- do a second major (I am out if credits and would need overload BUT my school allow most cross faculty combinations except specialty subjects like law etc)

- do 1-2 minors (I have credits for environmental sciences, sociology and psych)

And the question of jobs and related internships, what should I look for ??

I feel like im just really lost in college, maybe I should have studied a subject with a more clear cut path and professiona license. Seeing everyone around me with clear goals has made me very worried about employment (most of my geog friends do a 2nd major in languages or even business)

But I suppose a part of it is my fault since im weak in math and cant really pursue like economical majors like engineering, Geology, business etc

So realistically im stuck in the arts or Social Sciences??? And i dont have a particular interest at all, geography is just something I like more than others.

Sorry if my rambling is incoherent, ur a real one for reading all this

High up in the Hindu Kush mountains along the banks of the Kokcha River in Eastern Afghanistan is the little town of Sar-e-Sang, source of the highest quality lapis lazuli anywhere in the world for over 6,000 years.

More valuable than gold for most of its history, lapis lazuli from Sar-e-Sang found its way in to art and artifacts from the very first civilizations to today. Sar-e-Sang lapis is featured prominently in King Tutankhamen’s funeral mask. During the Renaissance ground up Lapis from Sar-e-Sang was used to make extremely expensive ultramarine blue paint that artists charged extra to use and was usually reserved for images of the Virgin Mary.

You can still buy lapis lazuli from the mines in Sar-e-Sang, the highest grades costing $100 - $150 per carat, the lower grades being significantly cheaper.

Is eurasia one or two continent, similarly for the America and what bout zeelandia?

I built Rail Crossing Atlas, an interactive way to explore where roads and railways meet across the U.S.

It uses the Federal Railroad Administration’s public crossing inventory. You can look up a town or crossing ID and explore the reported traffic and warning equipment. The dates are included because some traffic counts are much older than others.

I’d like to make the geography around each crossing easier to understand, too. What would you want to see alongside it: nearby road connections, surrounding land use, the next crossing along the line, or something else?

If you take a look around a place you know, I’d love to hear what context is missing.

I have a lot of trouble remembering these regions and I found this map identifying the countries and territories with national color coding to be helpful.

Stumbled upon it on the Wikipedia article about New Caledonia.

Every citizens or people that live in the most populated areas in the south, while few people live in the north back in 2025. It is a big country with almost all the citizens living in the south, making the southern provinces to have more population.

Vancouver, BC Proper Population: 662,248
Seattle, WA Proper Population: 784,777

Vancouver Metro Population Estimate: 3,108,926
Seattle Metro Population Estimate: 4,145,494

Seattle has over 100,000 more people inside its city limits than Vancouver and over one million more people in its metro area.

Apple is very detail-oriented. I don’t know what the criteria is on Apple Maps for the text size of cities because it doesn’t appear to be population.

Looks like there are more examples of this happening such as DC and Philly but this is the one that caught my eye.
