    I feel like a lot was missing in this video, like how Chile exists both along the coast and within the mountains, or how despite the Panama Canal is a popular sea route it's extremely difficult to get from North to South by land for example

    • @KilapnF
      @KilapnF 3 роки тому +25

      The thing about Chile is basically because the middle latitude and the cold Humboldt current allowed a temperate climate to exist in a long strip of 2000 km, similar to the one that exists from California to Seattle. This meant that there was a relatively large population in that space (1 million inhabitants for the year 1500). As the Spaniards went wherever there were people and gold, they soon went to Chile. They founded their Hispanic kingdom, which administered central Chile and western Argentina. But since the mountain range was too difficult a barrier and as the indigenous people in Chile were rebelling, the west of present-day Argentina came to be administered by Buenos Aires. When Chile became a Republic, it sought to expand to the south (fertile lands and the Strait of Magellan) and to the north (minerals).
      If you are looking for the geological explanation, it is simply the collision of two plates that raised a huge mountain range and a strip of land was left on its side.

    • @jimgreen5788

      /2xryeau, Chile is a very narrow country on the Pacific side, so the coast is never far away. However, in the south (Patagonia in both there and Chile), it's very mountainous. Beside, we have that here in the US also. It's possible on a winter day in CA to swim in the ocean in the morning, then drive up into the mountains to ski in the aft. and evening.
      Now, on to Panama. Between the Panama Canal and S. America (the line being the Panama/Colombia border), there's something called the Darien Gap in southern Panama, which is a segment of impenetrable jungle.

    Here are some other cool facts about Brazil's geography (coming from a Brazilian)
    - Brazil's easternmost point is actually closer to africa than to Brazil's westernmost point, mindblowing.
    - We are the 5th largest country in the world and our area is 8.5 million square kilometers, even bigger than Australia.
    - We are divided between 26 states + a federal district, where our capital, Brasília, (yes, rio de janeiro isn't our capital, stop saying this ffs) is located.
    - We are also divided between 5 regions, North, Northeast, Southeast, Center-West, and South.
    - Our biggest city is São Paulo, maybe you've heard of it. With 12.3 million people, it's pretty similar to New York, it has some very important buildings and avenues.
    - São Paulo, like New York, is both a state and a city also.

      The name South America has nothing to do with what hemisphere it’s in. South Carolina, South Dakota and South Korea are all in the northern hemisphere. These names mean that they’re the southern part of Carolina, Dakota and Korea respectively. Similarly, although “America” is now often used to mean the United States of America, it actually means North America and South America combined. So South America is the southern portion of that, regardless of what hemisphere it’s in.

I guess it makes sense in the same arbitrary way we separate "Europe" and "Asia."

    When you realised, Suriname was part of Dutch colonial empire (together with Indonesia). And there are many Javanese people migrated there (by force mostly. But some don't)
    And by looking the map, Antipedal (i forget what that means but what i meant is the opposite point of where you stand) in Suriname hits quite a chunk of Java
    So, say for example, if you are Javanese and dig your place in you backyard across the earth. You still have high possibility to meet other Javanese and understand what they were talking about, even though you are faraway from your home
