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...

To represent flatness, I think it would be better to use a different quantifier than this. This only represents the difference between high and low points and has nothing to do with how much land is flat. If we used this metric for a country like India, it would rank as one of the least flat countries, but that wouldn't be representative of much of the country. We need a different title for this map IMO.

Kentucky and Tennessee are labeled backwards. Though they seem to be colored correctly.

That is a terrible legend. Let me get my microscope to differentiate the colours in that razor edge 🧐
