Recently I came across this atlas at a local yard sale, and thought it would be fun to explore and see how many of you can guess when it was printed based solely on the information inside!...

Depending on your definition, the Earth features many "biggest" living things. Today we re looking at where they stack up against each other and figuring out why the largest organism on Earth appears no bigger than a few mushroom caps coming out of the dirt.

Parts of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York receive upwards of 55 inches of rainfall annually, qualifying them as potential temperate rainforests. Today, I put that claim to the test,...
It s been over 60 years since a change to the American map has occurred. While that all might change with the recent DC and Puerto Rico statehood movements, this opens up the possibility to re-examine the internal divisions of the country and see if there are any better ways to break up the country.

80 million years ago an entirely different class of animal ruled this Earth. The warmer temperatures allowed reptilians to grow bigger than any animal ever had before, bringing about the age of the Dinosaurs. But with a natural history spanning more than 180 million years, there s a lot to know about these creatures.

Venus is often referred to as Earth s sister planet. But if this were true, how can the two planets in some respects be so radically different? Well as it turns out, the answer may in fact lie in the planet s geography, or really in the planet s LACK of geography.

Many of us are familiar with rainforests; lush and exotic environments that serve as the pinnacle of life on Earth. For the most part we assume these only occur throughout the tropics, but as it turns out certain areas in the temperate latitudes can receive just as much rainfall, creating a number of rainforests in unexpected places.

Wedged within the southern lands of Antarctica there s a huge area of land not claimed by any country. Here geopolitics, geography, environmental sciences, and history are all bound to collide, leaving us only able to guess as to what the future holds for this land.

Recently we learned about the exoplanet Kepler-186f, a potentially earthlike, potentially habitable world only around 500 lightyears away. But when I mentioned that here plants would grow red instead of green I was met with skepticism. So I m back to fully explain exactly why Kepler-186f and planets like it would have red plants!

Part one of three! Most people know only two things when it comes to the dodo: they were stupid, and now they are extinct. But this simplistic view leaves out the full picture. In this video, we re exploring the many reasons why dodos ended up extinct, as well as the larger evolutionary forces at play.

Part two of three! Penguins are some of the most popular animals on the planet thanks to their outstanding ability to survive in at the south pole. But what about the north pole? Surely with a similar climate, penguins should be able thrive in the Arctic just as they do in the Antarctic, but, well, they don t. To understand why this is, we need to take a closer look at these amazing birds!

Part three of three! In the past two videos we ve learned how geographic isolation can affect evolution, but now it s time to apply these lessons to an entirely different cast of animals. What strange and amazing animals was paleobiogeography capable of cooking up? Watch to find out! NOTES: I DID NOT misspell Hatzeg. Despite the island s name traditionally being written as "Hațeg," the fact that we do not use the letter "ț" in the English language not only meant that the font I typically use could not actually spell it, but also considering my entire audience is english-speaking, I decided to spell Hatzeg in it s more readable form. I DID misspell Franz Nopcsa s name however, that one is on me. Follow me on twitter @theatlaspro Support me on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/atlaspro Paleogeographic maps and animations by C.

The source of the Nile has been sought after for millennia to no avail. But today I take a look at where this question comes from, those who tried to solve it, and why.

While taking a closer look at the features of East Africa for my last video, I happened upon an interesting site. Not too far to the northwest of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa s tallest mountains, there lies a lake with an unbelievably but also undeniably pink lake. Today, we re getting to the bottom of why and how this peculiarity exists, and what it s implications are beyond Earth.

Recently I looked into a number of extinct birds from all around the world, but few of them shed light on those that I would ve lived alongside. Today we re "borrowing" my mom s field guide on the Birds of Eastern and Central North America to learn about those birds that I might ve witnessed had I been alive only a century ago!

Today we re investigating the many different ways the ocean has been polluted, using a book I ve been reading lately, The Swarm by Frank Schatzing, as my guide! Join me in the wonderful world of dumping all your problems into the ocean, where nuclear submarine, mustard gas, sulfuric acid, and heaps and heaps of trash are only the tip of the iceberg.

The Moon is our closest cosmic neighbor, and yet little is ever said about its geography. Today we re diving deeper into why this is and why this might not be the case forever!

For my latest video I got on a zoom call with Cody from AlternateHistoryHub to ask him about the lost islands we looked at in the video. While I included what I think were the highlights from our conversation, there was also much more we discussed that didn t make the final cut. Feel free to listen and share your thoughts on what could have become of these islands had they made it into the modern day. Also for a fun time, try counting how many times Cody and I say the phrase "you know," and see if you can figure out who said it more. 0:00 - 19:30 Doggerland 19:31 - 29:30 Dogger Island 29:31 - 36:00 Grand Bank 36:01 - 43:30 Georges Bank 43:31 - 54:00 Santa Rosae 54:01 - 1:06:30 Mascarene Plateau
