45 Fun Geography Facts And Maps That May Teach You Something New About The World
It's crazy to think people once believed the earth was flat. One step too far and you'd be sent tumbling into the depths of the abyss of who knows what or where. Thanks to the explorers who came before us and those who put their all into studying geography, we know a lot more about the world and its workings.
Geography isn't just about maps, countries and capitals. It's a fascinating melting pot of facts about the planet, the hidden connections between landscapes, climates, cultures and more. And because it's ever-changing, there's always something new to learn. A lot of which isn't found between the covers of a textbook.
There's an Instagram account that shares really cool and interesting maps and facts about the earth. Geo Facts is a wall of info for anyone from the die-hard traveler to the class geek to the average Joe or Jane who just wants to brush up on their trivia ahead of the next pub quiz.
Bored Panda has put together a list of the best posts from the page for you to scroll through while you marvel at the sunrise, sunset and changing tides. Let us know your favorites by upvoting them.

That's around 7 billion more than nature intended...up to around 1900 the world's population was a steady 1 billion with a natural birth and death rate maintaining the status quo. As we have improved medicine and introduced antibiotics we have sidestepped natural selection and increased numbers beyond what is sustainable for the planet. We no longer have the checks and balances evolution put in place. That combined with the Abrahamic philosophy that 'All life is sacred' has fücked us royally.

US Bases in Europe are a direct consequence of the second world war, where economic help with the Marshal Plan, was connected by having more influence on defense (at the time, more focused against facism, instead of communism)

Nope, another false map. This map isn't drawn off of actual ancestry, it's drawn from surnames. Surnames in the US are almost meaningless to identify where someone is from. When Europeans came through Ellis Island, if their name was unspellable or unintelligible to the person who was admitting them to the country, their surname would be changed to something "common" that was easier to spell or say. We call these Ellis Island names. My surname is very British. No one in my family came close to ever being in the UK at any point in time. But there you go.

These map posts used to be actually mostly relevant and interesting, now it's just 95% memes. Plus images are getting more and more blurry, small and hard to read.
