Hello guys on PF, thanks for your attention. I am an undergraduated student from "Peking University", which is a top 2 university in China (There are two best university in China, the other one is Tsinghua University), that is a good university. But my major is not a popular major, which is...

I'm reading a translation of the shahnameh, which says that Afrasiab was a Turanian leader, who upon failed invasions of Iran, retreats beyond the Jihun river. But wikipedia says https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceyhan_River The Jihun river is a river in turkey. But Turan...

Back home, the catalyst for the worst biotic catastrophe in the world, the Siberian Traps, don't have much left. 252 million years of erosion have reduced the igneous province to a pale shadow of its former self. From 60 to 43 million years ago (not 252), a series of flood basalt eruptions...

The geography of Great Lakes Earth, and the questions that come with it. Pangaea From 250 to 200 million years ago, all the continents had joined together to form a singular landmass called Pangaea. The brown lines presented in the map are mountain ranges varying in height above sea level...

I have a circle, representing Earth with equator drawn on it. I need to draw longitudinal lines on 15 degree, 30 degree, and 60 degrees distance? I am not sure how and from where to measure these angular distances. Thanks.

To all PFers who have played "Where's That Landmark?" over the years: it's all just an elaborate exercise to prepare for this game: http://geoguessr.com/ Lots of fun :biggrin:. I think I got to 12,000 once, I'm *certain* folks here can beat that.

Hello earthlings... I'm undecided about what to major in. But I do know that its got to be in a Earth science. At present I'm taking geology..in the summer I'll be taking geography. Then in the fall I'll be taking oceanography. My question is which one pays more and is more stable in the job market?

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I just needed to make sure about something. Besides latitude and the tilt of the the Earth's axis, the other main determiner of weather would have been land formation, correct? Just to get it out there, the reason why I believe that land formation...

I want to take either a geology or physical geography class; I don't know which one I would enjoy more. If I take geology, it fulfills a prerequisite for another class I would like to take, Speleology; but the likelihood of me taking this class is unlikely. I have a general idea of the...

How can the theory of metapopulations be related to Island Biogeography theory? Can we treat each population in a metapopulation as an island? Further, what is the significance of metapopulations anyway? Is it that they are more stable than individual populations themselves, since...

Is Geography a science? It is comprised of theories, Laws (well Rules realy), hypothesis, some Math equations, aspects of Physics Chemistry and Biology. Also there is still much to be learned from it.

So close yet so far... At least my flags are almost on top of the correct ones, well except for one that I hit the wrong state. It asked me if I knew this was on earth. :redface: http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq/usa There are tests for all over the world.

I took a trip in August. I am curious to see if anyone can figure out the places where I took these digital pictures. Now if you figure Janitor as an international playboy jetsetter, these pictures could have been taken anywhere in the world. Otherwise, you can safely assume they were accessible...
