Geologistsare much more clear when defining what they believe to be the definition of a continent. Geologists generally maintain that continents are divided not by land or water as you see on a map, but continental crusts that are only seen in the many layers of rock, sand, and sediment th...
Part 1: What is a Political Map Among the most commonly used reference maps are "political maps." They hang on the walls of classrooms all over the world showing the geographical boundaries that separate administrative units such as nations, states, and counties. They depict major water features...
The Continental Divide Trail (CDT) stretches from Mexico to Canada through the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana over 3,100 miles. The CDT is the least-commonly thru-hiked of the Triple Crown trails because it’s newer, more rugged, and has fewer resource...
Nearly all of Eurasia sits upon the Eurasian Plate, one of several large plates that cover our planet. The map below shows the world's plates and it is clear that there is no geologic boundary between Europe and Asia—they are combined as Eurasia. Part of eastern Russia lies on the North...

And it’s the one we not normally call climate change, which a good share of this show, which will have to do with climate change and the whole idea of: is it too late to address this climate change. As I’ve told you, told you, told you, sort of boringly redundant, sorry. [...
What mountains did the Laramide orogeny create? Which mountain range forms the Continental Divide? What is the Cedar Mountain Formation? Where does most mountain formation take place? What type of volcano is Kilimanjaro? What geographical process caused the Andes Mountains?
This map shows the seafloor and deformation below it at a fracture in the Wharton Basin in the Indian Ocean. This fracture likely formed when the ocean crust was formed, but now it is being turned into a new plate boundary. The depressions are indicative of a strike-slip fault, which is...
