  The north east mountains are beautiful, old, wilderness. So crazy in places you can’t even predict the weather. And if you’re bragging about size, maybe try remembering the US is not the world.

      Mount Everest isnt near the ocean so there is no part of it below sea level. No idea what exactly defines the “base” of a mountain but I guess thats the crucial point.

      Hadn’t noticed that. Perhaps it’s because it’s the whole island?

  I live in Idaho. And I’ve heard if you flattened out all the mountains in Idaho. The resulting area would take up an space the size of Texas.

    Nice to see a fellow Idahoan on Lemmy. Also, we should never do that lest we get another Ted Cruz.

      You are safe. He is originally from Alberta, “Canada’s Texas.” He can’t handle the cold.

  It’s so cute when Americans talk about mountains.

  I constantly hear people calling that tiny little blip just right of center “mountains” and its fucking ridiculous.

  Huh, is that also why the western half is relatively unpopulated? It’s not quite the inverse of the population density, but not too far off either…

    No, it’s because dysintery is hiding around every corner.

    Yeah most of the gaps in population maps are mountains.

  I had no idea the US was voxel based - no wonder everyone seems so strange over there!

  Some sign in iowa somewhere also says, “welcome to mount pleasant”

  Where is the mountain, Iowa?

  • SavinDWhales@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s pleasant, because you don’t have to ascend it!

    It’s a conceptual mountain, duh.

  the west coast was formed by an acient change of massive volcanic activities, thats why its also very fertile soil.

  what is the name of the “hills” in the southern midwest? what states do they cover?

  source

  • lightnsfw@reddthat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The Ozarks I believe.

  • smeg@infosec.pub ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The Ozarks, or the Ozark Plateau, or sometimes (errantly) the Ozark Mountains. Compared to a proper mountain range, they’re more like big foothills with the odd cliff face. Pleasant for hiking and mountain biking. Lots of nice rivers in the region.
