Stumbled across this interesting feature and was wondering what it is?

I especially like the social and political aspects of Geography such as sustainable and alternative development and geopolitics, yet I don't enjoy history. It isn't the teacher, my history teacher is fantastic, and I feel it is a bit odd that I like one but not another even though both are considered social- studies.

So I created this map for a specific purpose but I am curious if anyone is able to guess what the seemingly arbitrary borders are? Some will be more obvious than others. I'll give a hint, though: If we were to redraw state lines, this might be one way I would suggest redrawing them. (Yes I know it looks super crazy but sometimes crazy works well).

That's the question. Thank you all in advance!

When you look at the California coastline, it is mostly a run-of-the-mill, kinda "smooth" coastline. Except in San Francisco, where there is an important intrusion of water going inland. It even cuts the coastline in two, to the point the Golden Gates bridge had to be constructed. Nowhere else on the Californian coast we can see this kind of feature, except maybe in Eureka, with Arcata and Humboldt Bay. What explains this? Is the answer, again, glaciers?

There are a good number of underwater volcanoes visible but I can’t see any islands. It’s not very explored so most is invisible but there are a few areas listed as >0 smoots but those are probably bugs.

I live in Michigan and I once heard that the Huron Mountains were once the size of the Rockies, but now are in a greater state of decay than the Appalachian Mountains. What ended causing the mountains to form?

Me and my brother saw these clouds in the sky that look like Japan and he told me to post it here!

Hello,

I am curious about urban planning and urban amenagement through the world. Can you say me something about ? How is it determinates according to social/geographical characteristics ? What urban planning or type of urban planning are very specific ?

dont ask why, i need VERY interesting facts about soil

Is there a name for this circled area? I cant find any answers online and I swear Ive heard the name before but I do not remember.

How does this affect the national parks and ecosystems as we know it? How come Europe, for example, doesn't have any fires?

I mean its at the bottom of the earth but wtf hey your geography questions are getting stupid

These islands are literally just off the coast of Ontario and Quebec, even surrounded by land owned by those territories. There’s other islands on the northeast shores of Quebec also belonging to NU. Why do they belong to Nunavut when they’re so close to these other territories?

See above

I just tried and I got to 35🫡 I can only put 7 on a map though.

I can put California, texas, illinois, Michigan, indiana, tennessee, Florida on a map.

I forgot Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont

Edit: can y'all stop downvoting, i'm just asking a question.

I’m assuming glaciers played a part, but I’m curious as to why they are all in such a unique shape: long, thin, roughly running parallel to each other, and in such close proximity to each other. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

Are you familiar with a proven study or anything of sort… or some objective knowledge on how body-mind functioning the best in a specific climate
