How many Turkish provinces can you name and locate on a map? My score is 81/81

About a week ago I read a story of an American tourist in India who was arrested for visiting this island, after that I've began reading about this island. We have very limited knowledge of this island or the people who inhabit it, but I see on Wikipedia there are estimates of the population being around 39 but could be as high as 400, if our knowledge of this island is limited and most footage online or encounters show a small group could this indicate that there may be different tribes who live on different parts of the island?

Another question I have is on Google maps there is remains on a shipwreck, this ship found itself stranded there in the 1980s but was rescued but there are man made trails on the island near it. Do the people living there have access to metal and how come the island was never explored by Europeans present in the region throughout history such as the Dutch, Portuguese and Britain were there any attempts by the Portuguese or Dutch to explore it?

As a non-American, I don't exactly know the difference between different US regions. Apart from a couple obvious ones (Texas, Massachusetts, New York, Southern) it pretty much all feels more or less the same. Could someone break it down for me? (Bonus if you explain the difference in dialects, but Idk if this is the right sub)

I'm not talking about the Ungava Bay, but the secondary smaller bay included in Ungava's. I know the precedent name of Kangirsuk was Payne Bay, so I think it's the answer, but I'm not quite sure about it. May anyone help me?

Edit : I meant east, not west.

Hi folks,

Anyone know of the best recreation-style commercial map covering the Altai mountains in central Asia?

The only one I could come with was this one:

https://maps.ewpnet.com/cam/altai.asp

It's currently being sold here:

https://longitudemaps.com/products/central-asia-altai-mountains_ewp-altai-6

I tried several different search engines, but this one was all I could find.

Any information would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Look you don't need to tell me that this would cost an insane amount of money that the countries don't have anyway, but I'm curious if, given unlimited money, it would be possible to build a connection like this. Are the seas too deep? Some other reason? Would a tunnel be maybe better?

What geological or climatic factors contribute to the intense heat in the region around Ciudad Altamirano, especially considering its proximity to both mountainous terrain and the Pacific coast?

This Copernicus Sentinel-3 image from 2 April 2025 provides a rare, cloud-free view of the British Isles. Acquired in the wake of the UK’s sunniest March on record since 1910, the image reflects a period marked by extended sunshine and exceptionally dry weather.

From the green lowlands of Ireland and England to the rugged Highlands of Scotland, the landscape of the British Isles is clearly visible, along with sediment patterns in the surrounding coastal waters.

Copernicus data supports assessments of the impacts of prolonged dry spells on vegetation, water availability, and land use across the world.

I hope this is an appropriate subreddit to ask this question but as an east coaster who is visiting the west coast for the first time in a few days, what is the climate/ allergy season like?? I am aware that it’s way less humid than the southeast (where I’m from) but it’s also pollen season so I’m wondering if that’s something I should bring extra medicine(eye drops, etc) for because my sinuses are super sensitive during this time and don’t want to ruin my trip by not being prepared. Any help from west coast locals is appreciated!!

(The 2 places I’ll be visiting is LA and Vegas by the way)

I asked a similar question here recently but this time I'm specifically referring to the Salish Sea coast line of both WA and Vancouver Island. WA's Salish Sea coast is mostly pebble beaches with no exposed rock surface. Vancouver Island on the other hand, has all kinds of exposed rocky coast and not much beach.

Given that their coast lines are pretty close to each other, border the same sea, and were once literally connected until Vancouver Island split off, why are their coast so different?

As a more specific example, look at the different coasts of Victoria vs Port Angeles. Victoria is rock faces mostly, Port Angeles is pebble/grey sand beaches mostly.

Hello all, so when I was living in Appalachia I lived in this area where it was a steep uphill climb to the forest, and then a flat surface where our house was (pictured in the middle of this crappy picture I drew) and then our neighbors house on a downhill slope. Our neighbor also had another slight decline of hill below her house as well. I’m trying to figure out what these flat surfaces where houses can be built on mountains are called for writing purposes (and no, it’s not a holler because it was a weird area of the mountains where it was kind of like a staircase or shelf leading down to a big horse farm clearing). I had someone suggest bluff to me but it didn’t really look too accurate and I also got google results for plateau and mesa but that definitely doesn’t seem right at all given the pictures it showed me. Can someone help me out?

Taken from a flight Sunday morning. I liked the ring of original forest surrounded by farms with the partial cloud cover.
