China is the most underrated country..
Why does Brazil have relatively few coral reefs compared to other warm-water tropical countries?
Why does India (1.438 billion people) have just 52 cities with 1+ million residents, while China (1.411 billion) has 113?
What country has the biggest difference between its longest and shortest borders?
I find this incredibly interesting. The west side of the Southern Andes is wet and green with the eastern side being dry, and the Northern Andes are the complete opposite with a nice gradient between the two. I know why this happens, but it is really cool!
how come there is such a large difference between india and china and the rest of the world in population?
Anyone know why Moscow has so many ring roads?
What region of the United States most struggles with the legacy of segregation?
What goes on here in Louisiana?
Would the Assam Valley be covered in rainforest if not for human activity?
What is this terrain type in Pakistan? I guessed it was formed as a result of melting glaciers sliding down and cutting through rock although it may be on a too big scale. Hod did it form?
Why so many landslide warnings in Colombia?
Historically, were there population exchanges or transfers executed peacefully and with minimal suffering?
What two cities would this be in your country?
Mt. Rainier
Two most commonly eaten meats worldwide
If you had to live in a town of 10.000 people and could choose its natural environment, what would you choose?
