I mean most countries or regions with an oceanic climate are around northwestern Europe or Patagonia or northwestern North America so I was curious to know whether that climate is nonexistent in the continent.

Why was Bashkortostan stripped of its northeastern half and was given to the Chelyabinsk Oblast? And besides,what happened to the Bashkirs of said region? Алдан уҡ рәхмәт

Hey there folks, so whenever I start to think about astronomy I always get bugged by the fact that we've sent spacecraft way past Neptune and around the Kuiper Belt (NH,V1,V2,etc...) and while I'm very much aware that those were just flybys and that actually getting a spacecraft in orbit around Uranus or Neptune is NOT an easy task (compared to the rest of the planets at least) i just can't help but compare Uranus to Saturn,we've successfully got Cassini into orbit around Saturn and kept it there for 13 years so how would doing the same thing with Uranus be any different (i heard that Cassini used Titan's gravity assist and that Uranus doesn't have any moon that's in the top 5 most massive moons in the ss to redo the same thing but I don't think I fully understood that). Another thing I saw online is that a Uranus orbiter is « Top-priority mission » according to NASA yet it's still stratified under missions like JUICE or NRST or even Artemis (i may be wrong here and that these might be separate missions each with their own focus and funding so please don't resist to correct me). And yeah these are all the questions I have regarding this issue,an orbiter around the ice giants could greatly change our understanding of how the ice giants and their rocky moons operate so far out and how their Geology works in such freezing temperatures.

*hypothetically* if the Russian cossacks failed to get past the khanate of Sibir and Islam reached kamchatka through trade (wouldn't that have led to siberia as a whole becoming muslim?)

Was going around and strolling on Google Earth when I came across this deep trench near The Seychelles, I couldn't make out what or how it formed,my best guess is that it's some sort of failed rift,otherwise I can't make any other good guess.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A dry and hot desert for most of the year,but when it rains,it becomes indescribably beautiful.

Trying out a new map style for the first time,please note that there may be some discrepancies here and there so please don't mind any of that.

For miniscule nations:

Lebanon: 201myo.

Bahrain: 56myo.

Qatar: 56myo.

TRONC: 299myo.

Kuwait: 48myo.

Cyprus: 92myo

Generally my main question is how is it possible for a mountain range that formed about 300 million years ago,didn't experience any major orogeny ever since (correct me if I'm wrong here) , yet still its peaks average to 1,000 meters? Other regions like Morocco’s Anti-Atlas quickly got eroded to rolling hills after Pangea's breakup, if it weren't for the alpine orogeny that reactivated its old faults and reuplifted it we probably wouldn't even be calling them mountains , and that's a mountain range that's located in a very central part of the globe let alone these Urals that were mostly in the polar and arctic regions of the earth,you'd expect glaciers to have eroded whatever was left of them and the appearance of a large sedimentary basin but that wasn't the case here.

Once you look at it,it's really crazy how in just 60+ years Agadir went from being a defensive Amazigh town in a hilltop to Morocco’s top tourist destinations.

*Excuse my camera quality , it gets really crappy at night + with zoom it gets unfathomably trash.

So I was gazing at the stars when I noticed that the moon suddenly became blood red and I rushed to check if there was some lunar eclipse but apparently the next lunar eclipse over Morocco was in 2 months,I later thought that this could be due to light refraction or something (like the atmospheric the sun during sunrises and sunsets) but the moon wasn't that low in the sky. I asked some AI models and the general answer was pollution,it suggested maybe chergui sandstorms or air pollution from an industrial zone,there were no sandstorms so that was ruled out and I was left with industrial pollution, and the I realised that the main industrial hub of Marrakesh and the moon were both in the west so it made sense but at the same time it was smy first time seeing this occurrence. If there are any other possible triggers for this event please leave them below!

​

P.S: -Double apology about the crappy quality.

-Picture 3 shows how the moon looked some 2 hours prior to this event.

Aousserd appears to be one of the few settlements in the southernmost reaches of Morocco who's name wasn't affected much by the Arab migration of the banu sulaym tribe or whatever they're called and still holds its original sanhaja (?) name,if there are any Tasenhajit speakers or historians who have an idea please let me know.

Correction on the spelling: ⴰⵓⵙⵙⵔⴷ

Yeah just asking about this random volcanic field in the middle of nowhere, especially since it's relatively young and doesn't sit near any tectonic setting that would allow for volcanism to occur.
