Settle down there, Jar Jar.
This guide missed a steppe
And a savannah
I was hoping to see both Gulch and Gully!
And where’s dale? For god’s sake, what the heck is a dale?!
I CERTAINLY DONT SEE A HOLLER
How about creeks and streams? Ephemeral ponds? Hot springs?
and moors? Glades?

I want to move to this fictional place now!

God my teacher used this image to teach us all the geography terms. Instant memories of certain sections being blown up to the point where you could count the pixels.
How do I actually pronounce archipelago?
I see it in text but I’ve never heard a human say it out loud.
Is it soft like Archie, or hard like arch? Is “Lago” like Lago or Lego?
Ar-keh-pell-ah-go is how I’ve always heard it.
It’s a hard K sound and the i and a are “uh” (ə) sounds. Like “Ark uh pel uh go” (at least in my accent).

Okay… I’ve been pronouncing it wrong… like arki-pel-Ah-go
Me too.
And many other people.
I’m not changing. 😁
I’ve always pronounced it “ark-e-pell-ago” but I think “ar hie-pell-ago” is equally correct. The ego/ago thing is the same.
I’ll keep saying ar-chih-puh-LAH-go because I don’t actually plan on every saying it out loud to anyone
Difference between river and strait?
Strait is connecting two large bodies of water while a river is what drains a land mass. Something like that.
Such a throwback, my dad had this poster in the hall at little kid height and i remember sitting and looking at it and wanting to be a geologist
Don’t leave us hanging. Are you a geologist?
no, I majored in math and now I’m a software engineer xD
The lack of estuary is why places like the San Francisco Bay are misnamed.
what differentiates a cape from a peninsula
Or a sound from a bay
I had this exact poster up in my classroom back when I taught 4th grade.
That butte does not match the buttes I’ve seen in real life. Then again, I’ve only seen the ones near my parents, in Oregon.
What’s the difference between a plateau and a mesa?
Apparently it’s to do with what they’re made of. A geologist can and should correct me, but I think mesas are made of flat layers of different rocks, and plateus are made of a single solid material
i think mesa is fully surrounded by lower land but plateau just has to be elevated and flat, could be connected to other highlands.
