Same! I do this to plan trips

Google Earth has saved me many, many miles on my car. Instead of having to drive to places to see what they actually look like, I can actually see them from my computer or my smartphone.

I always say this but Google Earth, or your other favorite internet based satellite map browser, is one of the most important and amazing tools available to us

I thought I was alone. I spend hours looking at random places and then googling them to see what they really look like. The world infinetely diverse

Somos poucos espalhados pelo mundo 😢

he is such a natural

Yea man I’m usually super ADHD when watching this kinda stuff, this guys a really good presenter. Like you said, not a dull or wasted moment in these videos

Caver?

I like the chill nature of them. No dramatized 10 minute long stories with stock footage and music. Just all kinds of maps. Nothing less, nothing more.

Just like me in the sheets

Same in Belgium, they should clarify this in that map

Alright, I’m not gonna lie, allowing 14 year olds to drink pushes back towards the more outrageous side of the spectrum in my opinion. And this is coming from someone who started drinking at 14. 14 year olds are absolute idiots. And not even in a funny way, they’re just like seriously mentally deficient lmao

Einfach nur deutsch haha

And that shows just how stupid certain aspects of the culture are. Giving a 14 year old kid a beer whose brain is still rather undeveloped. Pretty dumb, Germany. Don't worry, there is plenty of "stupid" to go around for other countries as well.

In the US at 18 you can go to war and kill or be killed but you can't drink a beer.

Is geography even a science? It's not like they perform experiments. It's more like history + drafting + statistics.

The maps also shows the major effect of the Rain shadow between the Sierras and the Rocky Mountains. The two (2) driest States in the Union are first Nevada and next is Utah. They are also among the two (2) States which the Fed.’s own the vast majority of the land, Between 80 and 90% of the land! That’s a map I’d like to see, how much of a States land (By area on a map if possible) is owned, or for all intents and purposes is controlled by the Federal Government. It would also be interesting what or how much they pay to the counties or States, (If any) as compared to the property taxes brought in by Counties/States as a percentage by the Privately owned land?

What’s this “rain shadow”? I’ve never heard of that before

@@douglasbubbletrousers4763 You will get lots of hits searching for those keywords and get alot more information but basically one side of the mountains get more rain than the other.

@@douglasbubbletrousers4763, You know how your body or a building between the sun and the area on the other-side you cast a shadow? A rain shadow is the equivalent, but with regards to the direction of a rain storm. The rain shadow effect is when a mountain or equivalent lays between two region’s, and blocks the rain in a storm or clouds from traveling across causing the rain as it rises over the mountains to drop its water on the side of the mountain range that it is crossing over leaving the leeward side with less moisture to deposit, as rain or snow, causing that side to become dryer often forming a dry region (i.e. becoming more desert like. In the UNITED STATES the Western region along the American Pacific Cost brings in moisture creating a much more moist region as opposed to the Eastern side of the Cascades or the Sierra Range. The Eastern side is much drier than the western side as the clouds are forced to drop there water on the Western side as they climb up over the mountain ranges. There are areas such as AZ., N.M., Eastern Colorado we’re storm’s can go around the mountain ranges coming out of the lower Pacific or the Mexican Gulf and travel up on the Eastern side of the mountain Ranges. Those Regions suffer less from the Rain Shadow effect than the Eastern sides of Washington or Oregon, or the whole states of Nevada or Utah. Hope this makes some sense.

@@douglasbubbletrousers4763 it's when a mountain range lies in the path of the prevailing direction of the weather. Mountain ranges tend to force the air to release its moisture on the "upwind" side. The air just downwind from the mountains thus has less moisture, this more arid area is called a rain shadow.

@@endemic_ thanks man i miss em :(

The flight map from the birds in your yard would probably show who of your neighbors has the best feeders. Kyle was wondering why it made a trip to Khartoum. Well: this species of eagle likes to visit rubbish dumps and I guess Khartoum must have a large one. I have been to dumps in India and Oman where you could see 100s of these eagles - the things some people do on holiday, haha!

@@Outwhere Khartoum has meeting of the two Niles. Blue/White Nile river join to become the Nile. Eagle just wanted make sure, because it’s good fishing spot. 😁🍺🍺🍺

While I find the ethics questionable, you could probably do a similar thing. The issue is the weight of the battery. Could do limited runs, assuming you ever find the bird again

ebird has animated maps of most species in the western hemisphere. Look at the weekly maps to see migrations.

He mentioned Laramie in this video as well.

@@Josh1888USU yes. I know. Atlantic city though....I think the population is about 100 maybe? Beautiful little former mining town on top of the south pass of the wind river mountains. I got stuck in a massive snowstorm in Laramie once. Other than that, I've only passed through, usually on the way to Denver.

I had the pleasure of spending some time in Lander when I did a NOLS semester course. As a New Englander it first introduced me to a amazingly beautiful part of our country.

Politely disagree. There is a small town in between Lander and Riverton that had two steak places. Either one was a good choice. You had to go into the kitchen to pay your bill. I think it's called Hudson, but can't check it now.

wyoming does not exist

Agreed. I had no idea they regularly travelled that far.

It‘s unfortunately inaccurate

More Americans live above that line too btw

Canadian population in Ontario is not Canadian but people from India and China

the line should have been higher north to include the Montréal area too.

It was only two votes - what a waste; Still the way i learned was that it was taken to the Supreme Court, which decided that the ruling was unconstitutional, as the Indian tribes were considered as basically permanent residents, even if they even if they didn’t hold citizenship! The president (First Democratic President) told the Supreme Court, (Basically) “yea, whose going to stop me??? You and Who’s Army”. Still they did fail to move the Navajo; the land was to rough to get all of the people (mainly men) and Oklahoma is just to close to the Navajo territory. Though the people in the region did at least prevent the Navajo from eliminating the Hopi, even if they did lost the majority of their land.

Democrats are never on the right side of history.

I worked in emergency management for several years and developed the tsunami response plan for the county I was living in. Hopefully we'll never need to use it.

@@GeographyKing I totally agree with you about that! After attending enough seminars and classes, I became the irritating dad/uncle/cousin who made emergency bug out bags and kits for my family at Christmas time. Those kits seemed more useful than a gift card or a new piece of junk for the gift recipients. I actually enjoyed making low cost kits and starter bags for family members.

That round blue and white sign is, with a hurricane symbol, used throughout Florida.

Thank you! I'll try to keep it up.

They have an interesting history of wolves and moose.

Hey friend! It looks like you’ve got good taste in channels 😉

@@CityGeek Oh, hey! Thanks, and seems you do too lol

Same!

Thank you

Baja is what I'm confused about, it's so close to both the Pacific and the Colorado River

@@1224chrisng I think hes confusing it with the Basin and Range ecoregion.

nope.

The phrase "daylight saving's time" isn't plural. It contains a possessive.

Hey Thats the Bank I use!! National DAylight Savings Time and Loan!!!

Thank you!

Don’t forget the vast amount covered by the pigmy forest/woodlands.

I need to book it! :)

Hollywood, CA trying to trademark the name Hollywood to force other cities to pay royalties is the most California thing ever.

@@WilliamWonka, The Original name of the Hollywood development was “HollywoodLand” as can be seen on some of the older pictures of the Sign when they were first trying to develop the area. They lost the ‘Land’ part as the sign deteriorated; when it was restored they dropped off the ‘land’ as people had drop using the full development name. They never had a proper claim to the name even from the beginning!

There is actually no municipality of Hollywood CA unless they've incorporated since I've lived there. It was just a neighborhood in LA, like Venice , for example. West Hollywood is an incorporated city, though.

Thanks! The one I have is nowhere near mint but I do have an excellent condition first pressing of the first album.

This channel would be very helpful when Trivial Pursuit was a popular game.

I just discovered it -- which means there must be three more I haven't even seen yet. Envy me.

Daylight =/= sunlight.

Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world put together.

@@michaeldowson6988 too bad they can't build a water pipeline to California, Nevada, Arizona.

@@mehere8299 - correct, cloud cover produces the number of sunlight hours by reducing the number of daylight hours. So your inequality could be rewritten as daylight hours >= sunlight hours The equality there can only happen with zero cloud cover. And I should add that things like volcanic ash and smoke and wildfire ash and smoke also should be lumped into what I termed cloud cover.

@@KB-ke3fi Ya and we (Canada) would only charge the same price per gallon as gas in sept 2022 ! OR we could Bottle the water and sell it like perrier water all over the world.

My thoughts exactly

Nailed it

just found the secret Kyle meet up

Same.

Either that, or the Toronto area is just that populous.

@@Compucles The "Golden Horseshoe" (Toronto to Niagara Falls) has about a quarter of the total national population on its own, so I think the line would have to be moved up a bit to get Montreal and Ottawa.

Exactly my thoughts as well.

50% of Canadians live north of that line. You’d need _some_ populous centres in that region to equal the 50% south of the line. I’d say the map’s fidelity is good.
