30 Interesting Facts About The World Represented In Unconventional Maps

It's a really good version, AND it's easy to add/drop states as circumstances change.

Not surprisingly, it vastly underestimates the population of red states. No, states like the Dakotas, Montana, etc., aren't so tiny next to California as to be just about invisible.

Always thinking of this: https://youtu.be/sN7wH37Fe80

They're on there, just really small (bottom left of Texas and under California) cause they have such small populations, and putting them in the proper spots would make everything small since Hawaii is far away

I think that Hawai'i's population is so much smaller, the pixel just isn't showing.

What are you implying? That these countries are unfriendly to Russia because they can't drink tap water? Or they can't drink tap water because they're unfriendly to Russia? Either way your comment makes no sense.

Nope. Correlation is a first step in a scientific study. After that, you need to research the mechanism to explain the correlation. My favorite site to explain this is Spurious Correlations. The number of Nic Cage movies is highly correlated with deaths by drowning. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

https://www.thetruesize.com that is a good site! Cool to find out that Chile is really long! And Sweden is not as large as it appears 🤦‍♂️

I love this site! Every country you think is big will suddenly be smaller.

Before continental drift they probably did... but as plate tectonics separated the continents and raised the ocean floor land lifted to their east...

You know, those mountains in Florida.

Sorry, they don't. The Appalachians come closest to the coast around New York New York. It's backbone of mountains that prevented a lot of expansion west from the people who arrived from Europe. Go to Google Maps, and search for Appalachian Mountains. This range doesn't include Rhode Island, Delaware, or Florida. It clips the corner of North Carolina and Georgia.

Continental drift is real, because it certainly is observable, but notice the "fit" is quite poor compared to what elementary school students are taught. (Scandinavia seems to fit so nicely into Hudson Bay, but you'd have to get it up and over quebec.)

TIL that they consider Florida as a mountain range. We barely have hills. Our highest natural elevation is 345 ft

UPDATE: Apparently this map is simply almost no relation to reality. The Central Pangean Mountains included the Appalachian/Allegheny highlands... plus the central Massif in France, and the Bohemian highlands in Southern Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, etc. The Atlas Mountains of North Africa were related, but not part of the same mountains as the Appalachians. The Appalachians stopped in Northern Georgia, and never included anything South of Atlanta or in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiaina, etc.

Well they do in Maine.... but yeah, I'm prtty sure there are no mountains in Florida or Delaware or Louisiana.

You would be wrong, but the tectonic plate does...

No? There's no tectonic border on the US's east coast, the fault between the Americas and Afro-Eurasia is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. When those plates pushed together, this mountain range formed. So the pic is correct: the plates pushed together, made the mountains, and then split

Does it? All the orange in southern india is surprising to me.

Didn' they say that jesus went to India after that golgatha incident? Maybe he took some savings with him?

We're they ? Can you give us your source, please ?

Yup we Indians ran the call centers for the Roman empire as well!!

Yes. The main trade routes were via sea, with ships sailing from the Nile and ports in the Red Sea.

huge trade... ancient civilisations met. Why do you think the Europeans were desperate to come to India?

„Wheeeeeeeeeeeee“

We're all Tweety Birds down here

You see how you can make out the Northern coast of Canada and Alaska? That's not a mistake. It's the Northwestern passage, and while it is rarely passable these days, it was once home of shipping lanes. Oh, yeah: it was totally impassible in the little ice age, but was totally passable in the early-mid 20th century.

And avoid Tasmania
