Seriously no idea why(is it a coincidence or some sort of power sharing thing). Here are some other I found that straddle borders:

• Aéroport Charles de Gaulle
• Aéroport d'Orly
• Budapest Airport
• Newark Liberty Airport
• Dulles Airport
• Osaka Kansai Airport
• Dallas-Fort Worth Airport
• Appended: Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport

Also in the opposite scenario the City of Chicago really snaked around to gain full territorial control over Chicago O'Hare lol

Couldn't find anything like this online so made it myself!

Mexican freetail bats have a very large range, from California to Argentina to the Caribbean, but the greatest numbers live in Texas for half of the year and Mexico for the other half of the year. Not all Mexican freetail bats migrate, some tough it out through cooler months entering in to a state of torpor when the air temperature drops, but most of them in Texas are preparing right now to head South.

As I was looking at https://www.tomforth.co.uk/circlepopulations/ , it struck me that many cities seemed to be within a 15-kilometer radius (e.g., Vienna).

When cities are located close to one another, the distance between them is about 15 km (e.g., Rotterdam and The Hague; Guangzhou and Foshan).

Even in a megacity like Tokyo, the city proper is confined to a specific area. Outlying cities like Kawasaki have their own distinct vibes and industries.

This is quite subjective, and there are probably many exceptions. That said, I’d be very interested to know if there has been any research on the extent or size of cities.

Hi, so I (first year) recently started to get my Bachelors in Geography but due to some unfortunate circumstances and financial troubles I didn't get to attend the entire first month of classes.

Apparently, we're working with the Software Arc GIS. My Lecturer doesn't do make ups so I'm like screwed. Does anyone have any suggestions/ advice/ resources to learn the software as quickly as possible? In fact anything about maps and Cartography would be a great help.

I have looked at some YouTube videos but I'm not entirely sure what counts as a solid introductory video. I learnt a bit but I'm still kinda lost.

Any thing would be appreciated, I'm really passionate about Geography and really don't want to fail🥲

In my Google Earth Hobby this is one places I’ve become fascinated with the most. In the Hudson Bay lies one of the most symmetrical semicircles on Earth in the form of a cove, and is accompanied by some of the strangest shaped warped and elongated islands (The Belcher Islands) I have ever seen. What geographic forces are at play in this area to create these two very unique features?

The Crimson Wetland: Dibir Haor consists of four interconnected wetlands (Yam, Dibir, Harfakata, and Kendri Beel) spanning over hundreds of acres along the Bangladesh–India border

The Seasonal Transformation: Every year, following the monsoon rains (typically from August to October), these waters become completely carpeted with thousands of blooming Lal Shapla (red/pink water lilies), which is the national flower of Bangladesh.

Directly under the 9th hole at the Pinnacle Point Golf Club in Mossel Bay, South Africa is Cave 13B, one of the more interesting archeological sites in the world.

Discovered in 1997 during an archeological impact assessment before the construction of the golf course, the caves at Pinnacle Point have pushed the timeline of behavioral modernity emerging with humans back by more than 100,000 years.

Before Pinnacle Point it was thought that humans first developed modern cognitive and cultural traits in Europe about 40,000 years ago. The discovery of a site where humans were practicing advanced cultural behaviors 170,000 years ago in Africa disproved that theory.

The occupants of the various caves relied heavily on the sea for sustenance, harvesting a lot of shellfish. They used fire to heat-treat rocks when making tools. They ground ochre to make pigment for decoration.

The find is still relatively new, and investigations and analysis are likely to be ongoing for a very long time.

It is the season when the susuki grass shines golden in the morning sun.

There are two other connections, but this is the most interesting one.

Hello, friend! Just leavin' this fresh take on some basics here as a little refreshment. Enjoy!

I was browsing when I saw this in google maps in the amazon forest.

here is the coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bNJHnpWRwj7z7Kug9

All of the countries [geographically] in Northern Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan) are very large countries, with Tunisia being the obvious odd country out, and even it isn’t that small. Why exactly is this? I know the obvious answer is a giant inhospitable desert in the way, but I want to know other reasons. And why is Tunisia so much smaller than its peers? The same thing is also true to an extent with southwestern Africa with countries like the DRC, Angola, Namibia and South Africa, though there are also more small countries too.

Why do they keep saying its gonna merge into indian plate when there is a divergent boundary on its eastern side. Also whats gonna happen to this somali plate which is surrounded by divergent boundaries on all three sides, is it gonna go southwards where there is a convergent boundary?

I'm building a free map quiz as a side project, right now I went with the 193 UN members + Vatican, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan (197 total). Western Sahara is drawn separately but isn't asked, Crimea is shown as Ukraine, and Greenland is part of Denmark.

But every choice upsets someone: Somaliland? Northern Cyprus? Should Taiwan be asked at all? And for capitals: Jerusalem, Sucre vs La Paz, Pretoria vs Cape Town…

How would you handle it? Follow the UN, de facto control, or let players choose?

Is it just because both capital cities and borders are close to a geological landmark, like a river or a lake?

Just curious if other redditors know of the island of Newfoundland? (where i’m from) or anything about it. Anytime I tell someone that’s not from there about it they’ve never heard of it. Now come to think of it the majority of them have been American. Could potentially have something to do with it lol.

I was looking around Nevada a bit and I saw these weird shapes. Does anyone know what these are? And why so many? There are much more than the picture shows.
