This is also a really great illustration of colorblindness. I actually didn’t even see Italy until I read the comment about the boot.
I was just thinking about this regarding climate the other day and found this interesting graphic on climate similarities in North America.
Were they limited in colours?
More than 4 colours? In this economy?
I’m aware of it, but it doesn’t work on this where non-connected pieces can have the same climate.
Further the size and proximity of Scandinavia as well as the darkness and size of Ukraine make them difficult to distinguish.
ngl that could be a real map of territories after Trump is done cutting the US up and handing out the pieces to his buddies abroad.
Trippy pic bro
I already knew. My dad lives in southern France and naar him is a sign near the road where the 45th parallel crosses.
That’s the border between the states and Canada…
Ocean currents do a lot more to even out the weather
Also wind patterns. At the midlatitudes westerlies dominate. So the east coast has a continental climate (receives cold air in the winters, hot air in the summers) while the west coast does not (the oceans make the summers and winters mild)
You’ll see that the west coast cities on the same latitudes of their European counterparts have a very similar climate (as opposed to east coast cities, which have a very different climate than their latitude-counterpart).
The west coast city I live in is just a little further north than Philadelphia and has a very Mediterranean climate so this puts that into perspective for me.
For context this puts Rome about north enough to get snow hurricanes were it on the American east coast
