Why does Uruguay exist, considering it is sandwiched between 2 much larger countries, Brazil and Argentina? What stops either of those countries from taking it over? Does it have different terrain that makes it defensible or a strong sense of national identity?

Question: Isn't Singapore technically an island state not having any neighbour states? Or does the bridge to Malaysia change this?

I've always wondered why Papua new Guinea is so lush and green. Figured it might be due to its tropical location but then why is Northern Queensland so much more dry even though its only a few kilometres south of Papua?

Hello people. I really like world geography particularly climatology. Could someone recommend any good books on climatology for just a general overview of the major phenomenon thereunder?

You can see the development of the city. The more organic layouts in the north are pre-British. The sourthern-most part of the image, Sule area was during the British, as seen by the grid. The rough grid on the East was after the British, when city officials learnt the concepts of a grid.

Hey guys, I have my bachelors in physical geography and environmental I am only one away from getting the GIS certification, but to be honest, I’m not really a big fan of GIS. Has anyone on here completely changed the course of their career with a geography degree?

Generally - what do we know and can predict on this topic?

Is it an unavoidable, irreversible catastrophe? Do we have any strategies for this scenario, are the goverments planning anything? Should they?

A state’s northernness/southernness was determined by culture and/or how much of the land was above/below the Kansas/Nebraska border line.

Hello everyone,

While exploring Google Maps, I came across a small island located at 22.1146384° N, -91.3977021° W. The island appears to be approximately 400 meters in length and has a noticeable red structure on it, possibly a house or a ruin, when viewing it in sattelite image mode on apple maps or google maps.

Given its location, I wonder if this could be the legendary Bermeja Island, which has been a subject of debate for years due to its mysterious disappearance from maps.

I’ve attached some images of the island from Google Maps for reference.

If not (wich ofc is very likely), i would love to know what kind of structure is on that island and anyone has insights or information about it? Any thoughts or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I recently noticed this and thought it was weird, considering i've never heard about this territorial dispute before. Looking on the internet i couldn't find anything about it either.

Have the Brazilian/Paraguayan governments made any statements about it recently?

EDIT: I was wrong about Tokelau but it’s still so cooooool 🇹🇰

5th globally in population density: 212,000 people in 2 square miles. What is life like here? What else is unique?

I don’t care what the Wikipedia definition is, a geographical regions mean what people feel it means. I think most people treat Finland as it’s already part of Scandinavia. So do you feel like it is?
