Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it. - Terry Pratchett



Notice Board



Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

Interesting the Nile doesn't rank.

It only has a discharge of 2,800 cubic meters a second. Which puts it at the 105th most powerful river. I assumed it would be on the list too, makes me wonder if the irrigation techniques used in the Nile impact that.

I don't know that 200 million liters a second is very helpful either, to be honest. At least I can almost picture 80 big ass pools being filled in a second.

A little under 100 miles of the state of New York’s border is the river itself.
