Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it. - Terry Pratchett



Notice Board



Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

Distant mountain backdrop

A couple hours west

Wtf, are you high? Denver is not "like Des Moine". It is at the base of the mountains. I can walk out my front door and be at the mouth of Clear Creek Canyon in 15 minutes. It's called The Front Range because it is named after the Front Range, which is a mountain range in the rockies, which is named that because it is in front of all the other mountains.... WHERE DENVER IS.

Technically it's in a basin, might be an impact crater.
