    Distance is typically the straight line length between 2 locations. I live in Adelaide South Australia. I know Melbourne Victoria is roughly 850kms from me. Where as are in simple terms is measuring the space inside any completed shape. For simple terms you can work out the area of a rectangle by knowing length(distance) of two sides and then calculate the area within that shape.

    I think he's ignoring the arguments and just going with the most colloquially accepted beliefs about them, which would make sense. I personally have always disliked the argument in favor of saying Michigan and Huron are technically one giant like together, as it would make for a absolute shitshow in the arguments it then makes automatically for countless other things being this and that. Akin would technically make all of the great lakes (with the exception of Erie) naturally one giant lake, and, it would also mean the St. Lawrence River is actually technically a inland sea because it is a geographic extension without any breaks from the gulf, and thus the ocean, which then means the great lakes are also inland seas. It just doesn't work!

  • @mitch4509

    @mitch4509

    8 ай бұрын

    I’m glad someone else pointed out that Lake Michigan-Huron is larger than Lake Superior. The only reason they are considered different lakes by folks is because map making is hard, especially without satellites. The basins are hydrologically connected; they have the same mean water level and water flows freely in both directions. You couldn’t combine other lakes arbitrarily because they don’t have the above qualities. Combining the Michigan and Huron basins into one lake is akin to removing Plutos planetary status. After learning more information, it turns out folks in the past were wrong/labeled something in an unhelpful way. For example, labeling the basins as separate lakes is unhelpful from an environment protection perspective. If an invasive species got into either basin, the entire lake would be at risk for that invasive species. If oil spilled into one basin, the entire lake would be at risk for the effects of that pollution. Because of the environmental impacts, Lake Michigan-Huron is one lake according to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. In summary, Lake Superior is not the largest lake in North America. While it may have deserved an asterisks similar to other geographical features in the video (eg largest oceanic mountain), Lake Michigan-Huron should have been included as the largest North American lake.

    @@mitch4509 they're all naturally interconnected with the exception of Erie, though. And by extension, they're all technically part of the Saint Lawrence River, which by extension makes it and the lakes inland seas since the SLR technically is more of a gulf than anything. That's why I've never liked the argument or it's logic for saying Lake Huron-Michigan, which is the same as why they are doing the same with the Caspian Sea suddenly being a lake. The logic behind it leaves things way too open-ended allowing a endless list of places to completely shift definitions and titles while incidentally becoming ambiguous.

    This might be the most common pronunciation of Oceania, but I still hate it. I think it should be pronounced "oh-shun-EE-ah". Ocean + ia. Just like it's spelled. That sounds the least awkward of all the usual pronunciations, and let's face it, it's not a local name with a local naming pronunciation tradition. Ocean is an English word, it seems strange to pronounce Oceania so markedly differently from "ocean". Especially to create two syllables where once there was only one.

    These types of linguistic redundancies have amused me since I was a little kid. Like how in many regions of Western Asia, the word 'naan' essentially translates to 'bread,' so saying 'naan bread' is akin to saying 'bread bread.'

    I have a bone to pick....every major river system begins with different names and has major tributaries that converge with the mainstem. The Nile is the White and the Blue, the Amazon begins as the Manjaro, and does become officially the Amazon for two thousand kilimeters yet its all one big hydrologically connected system. The Mississippi and the Missouri are no different. Geographically they are part of the same drainage system and since they merge they are treated as a single entity in length. It is also the worlds largest inland navigable water system, I want to say by far but I could be wrong. I think this is a pretty bone headed mess up for a geography channel.
