North America - Interesting Facts. Why Are Tornadoes So Prevalent In North America?

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that each continent of our planet is unique.
Because every continent has something that others don't. Be it climate, geography, flora or fauna.
Today, let's embark on a journey across an incredibly vibrant continent that combines two seemingly incongruous things - the most advanced civilization and the most beautiful nature.
You guessed it, we're talking about North America.
In this video, you will learn:
Why are tornadoes so prevalent in North America?
Is the Yellowstone supervolcano really that scary?
How did it happen that for a long time, the same animals have inhabited Eurasia and North America?
And how did a huge part of North America come to be occupied by... Europe?!
North America.

    From about 47:15, the commentary is honest, well-reasoned and fair. I appreciate the realization that we must alter our course if we want to leave a responsibly stewarded continent to the Americans of 2054, and 2084, of 2124, 2224, 2324 or even 2424! (If you don't get that sentence, it's not important. I just mean let's live with respect for the future). I definitely want to be remembered as a generation who saw the delayed ill effects of careless technologies, wasteful economies and a cavalier attitude toward this world's fabulous but finite resources. And North Americans can be an example--from the Panama Canal to the Plain of Abraham, from the smiles of San Salvador to the club Blues of old-town St. Louis, from pyramids of Yucatan to the shores of Labrador--we could become the "beacon continent," the world's lighthouse for living sustainably, but prosperously. We citizens of Canada and the Caribbean Nations, of Central America and Mexico and of "El Norte" itself, the United States, have lived largely in peace, by living cooperatively, for over a century. If only we add "sustainably" to "cooperatively," we could lead a world refreshed and heartened by good will, one restored for good by willing hearts.

    Many of you may have never heard these truths: Our heavenly Father allows for signs in the earth, heavens, and environmental upheavals to call His children home; the mind and heart are the soul's strength; your soul will spend an eternity somewhere; it is appointed to man once to die and then the judgment; there is no lasting hope in this world; Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire, Jesus comes, it is a tree of life. Whoso despises the WORD of God shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commandments (Exodus 20) shall be rewarded; The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do God's commandments: His praise and mercy endures for ever; and For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Jesus should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Please choose life, while it is called today!

    California averages 10 tornadoes each year. They do occur occasionally, particularly in the Los Angeles Basin and Central Valley. Tornadic activity in California, to my understanding, is usually (but not always) associated with winter storms. As with most tornadoes, most of these are weak (EF0-EF1). With regard to strong (F2/EF2+) tornadoes, there are a few on record, including an F2 that struck Los Angeles in March 1983.

    At around 5:30, this video states that plate tectonics caused the Bering Land Bridge to sink below the sea 11,000 years ago. Actually, this submergence, which did occur roughly 11,000 years ago, I believe, was caused by the melting of the Ice Sheets that covered much of Canada and Europe, primarily, at the end of the latest Ice Age.

    There’s a lot of confusion around the word “discovered.” In simple terms, to discover something is to find or see something for the first time. Whether or not it was the Vikings, Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, or someone else who discovered it first will always be debated. To discover something does not nullify the fact that it did not exist before. It means that the subject had no prior knowledge of what they discovered. It does not negate the fact that there were, indeed, Indigenous and/or Native peoples inhabiting and thriving on their land.

Whoso despises the WORD of God shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commandments (Exodus 20) shall be rewarded; The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do God's commandments: His praise and mercy endures for ever; and For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Jesus should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Please choose life, while it is called today!

    Ummmm…. The St. Francois Mountains, in southeast Missouri, are three times as old as the Appalachians. They are over 1.5 to 1.8 billion years old. The Appalachians are 65 million years old.

    they are older than that the appalachians were formed during Pangea which was around 300,000,000 to 200,000,000 years ago during the end of the triassic start of the jurassic periods in fact the same rocks found in the appalachians can be found in england ,ireland ,and Scotland kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYaDs6udfZu_h5c.htmlsi=IHf1_C9JSHr2acnj

    My husband is 43 and thought the dark spots on the moon were the reflections of the continents on earth ☠️ He went to one of the worst school systems in our area and I went to one of the best and it is quite obvious which school system actually cared about students getting a quality education and offering any help needed vs one that will just pass anyone just to get them out of there. My husband has ADHD and is dyslexic and can't learn in a normal school environment well. Their IEP program was pointless and just passed them if they showed up. Our school had an amazing program and I wasn't in it, but the people that were , got all the help and support they needed and actually got good grades . The school systems have just gotten worse over the years sadly. I fear for the future of this country being run by people who can't write in cursive or read a clock unless it is digital.

    Oh my gosh--I can't believe this--but I agree with all three of you. We sound so cynical, but when I left high school I could read Latin, play the piano and name every capital city in the world. I understood orbital mechanics and the dynamics of evolution, the details of reproduction, importance of vaccinations and reacting safely to a natural disaster. My kids are stumped by all of that, and almost resent me talking about it. And, aarrghh!--they and their peers don't write in cursive, don't know a second language, play a musical instrument or hold a drivers' license. It's very depressing! Although somehow very helpful that other parents bemoan the same circumstances.

    When I was a little kid, (I'm 76 now) there were "pen pals", which were other kids we exchanged letters with, like in Canada, Alaska, or England. It helped us to learn about other countries. I wonder if kids ever use "snail mail" anymore in a world with e-mail. Why would a kid go to the trouble of finding stationery, stamps, pens and all that, and create a "hard copy" to journey for days in the mail system across continents, when he can e-mail anyone in the world instantly. I guess pen pals have gone the way of the horse and buggy.😮

    Why am I not surprised at the daughter who thinks Tennessee has a coastline!?? I find it perplexing that there are people who have zero interest in geography! And these idiots actually vote! I am FASCINATED by geography. I can draw a pretty accurate map of not only the United States but in fact most of the world! The only part I might be a little fuzzy about might be those countries around the Black and Caspian Seas. 😊

    "You people" need to stop being Semantiphobic. If I say, "I discovered a Chinese Restaurant downtown yesterday", it doesn't mean that I Constructed the building and Invented egg rolls or was the first person to ever eat Chinese food. Discover means to find something Unexpectedly. The discovery is on the part of the person doing the looking NOT on the object being found. So something can be discovered by more than one person. For example, just because I discovered you are an Idiot doesn't mean that Many People haven't discovered the same thing before. Imagine living in 2024 and not knowing the definition of Discover. Furthermore, even if you were correct, you are still wrong in This instance because the narrator specifically quantified the use of the word "discovered" by adding the context of European in the previous sentence. Sometimes being "That Person" doesn't make you as Cool as you think it does.

    This documentary should replace North America by United States... North America is not only one country aka the United States. Mexico, Canada and others are also in the North America. The Niagara Falls are also in Canada. Actually, the Horseshoe one is exclusively in Canada. In fact, the most spectacular view to appreciate them is on the Canadian side of the border. There's also the Saguenay fjord which should have been in this documentary as it is a rare "intracontinental" fjord and one of the 10 longer fjords on the planet. There's a lot of interesting facts in North America outside of the United States... There's also the Okanagan Desert which is not mentionned in the documentary. Also, the native americans, mayas and inuits were here way before the europeans came here. And the first europeans were... vikings!
