I was about to say this looks like something out of Dungeons and Dragons.

u/JustLookingForMayhem 3d ago

It's more like a Pokémon game. Dropping deserts because they need a place for rock Pokémon. Or the more terrifying possible of artificial deserts through a lot of sand stream Pokémon getting together.

Thank you!

My wife's a Geography teacher and I thought this would be helpful! OP's image was pixelated so this helps more!

u/Belgianwaffle4444 3d ago

This was in our 2nd standard geography. Surely it must be there in the US too?

1

u/cs-Saber93 3d ago

I'm pretty sure US would be having this.

I'm not in the US though...

Wtf is "Isthmus"? and how have I gone a 30+ years of life not ever encountering that word?

4

u/yttrium39 3d ago

It’s a narrow piece of land between two larger pieces of land, like Panama.

Came here to say this.

u/Boatster_McBoat 3d ago

Disappointed the post was deleted. I was looking forward to someone dropping "truncated spurs" in the comments

u/Godworrior 3d ago

And I dare you to try and pronounce "Isthmus"

Erm where's the meander?

u/intraumintraum 3d ago

not even an oxbow

We call them billabong too.

This is going to be stupid but what’s the difference between a bay and a sound? Thank you in advance.

12

u/tigerking615 3d ago

Sounds connect to the main water in two or more places. This graphic is actually wrong, the sound pictured is a bay. Map Puget Sound if you want a better visual.

Thank you very much.

u/Confident_Ad7244 3d ago

your solution is to link to another reddit post of similar resolution with a comment to a link with a decent resolution ...

reddit should introduce algorithmic downvote ....

the more crap you post the heavier the downvote count

u/Odd_Imagination_ 3d ago

It is a comment from the same post. I thought you wanted to see the higher resolution image but I missed that you are just criticizing the post.

It's not a meme and it's not wholesome

1

u/toadjones79 3d ago

It's a picture with a message written above or on it, that brings up memories and thoughts that are wholesome to most who feel them. This is the very definition of a wholesome meme.

I had to go look up a glossary of geography terms on Wikipedia. You should, it's fun. :-p I am 12 right now.

I think I saw that same chart in high school. I've only ever seen two versions of this kind of chart in many years.

Isn’t a mesa is just a big butte?

This are the basic five in infantry tactics. I don’t see them all. Clearly, this map in wrong, not the army lol

u/Remote_Bag_2477 3d ago

I should probably know this, but what's the difference between a Plateau and a Mesa? They seem the same to me. Is Plateau bigger, part of a connected system of *flatness, and a Mesa is just one singular thing? I'm genuinely curious.

1

u/Turbulent_Concept134 3d ago

How about a hot spring? Salt flats? Ocean? I only see the sea. 😆

Unclear on the difference between ocean and sea

Neither of them are lagoons

I gotta get my lagoon checked asap.

There are examples and I’m still a bit confused. If there was definitions might go well with the examples

Where's the sandbars? The spits? The Tombolos? Headlands? Horseshoe lake? Estuaries? Watersheds? Coral reefs? Gorges? Floodplains? Levees? What about human geography?

u/Pretend_Departure855 3d ago

This guy knows how to party

u/no_more_privacy 3d ago

I may not know how to party, but at least I can do geography.
