My friend, I think you showed the wrong picture in 10:57. I believe that's not the Volga River, but the Ob River instead
I thought I was going crazy. I was like, what?
He got it right in the next slide though
Truly I was so confused
as russian, i confirm
Yeah that's in the Asian part of Russia
The first map you showed for Europe's longest river is incorrect. You are showing the river Ob in Russia and in the Asian portion of Russia at that. Volga is to the west. The second map you showed (together with the Danube) is correct.
What is more, Ob is shown incorrectly on this map with relatively small river Tom insted of its own beginning.
Was going to comment that myself
I don't know europe's geography good but I believe you
Someone explain to this guy the difference between "distance" and "area" pls
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.
Yeah, when he tells about Caspian sea
Lakes and countries don't "cover a distance" they "cover an area".
Lake Eyre in Australia is usually dry as seen in this video and has only filled completely 3 times in the last century. The largest permanent lake in Oceania would be Lake Taupo in New Zealand even though its tiny at 616 km2
Wait what
Calling a 616 sqkm lake Tiny😬.
Bruh
Yeah, it was a bit disingenuous of him to include Lake Eyre when it rarely has any water most of the time!
@@tisyaa4294 That doesn't mean we can now call a lake that's bigger than Lake Tahoe as tiny.
lake alexandrina is bigger at 649 km2
Why is Newfoundland and labrador missing from your map of Canada????
good question
I don’t know I am in Canada and it make me sad😢
Probably just an honest mistake
Looks like he forgot quite a few of our islands in the north, too. Odd. 🤔
@@calebtarI guess if nothing else it shows that Canada is huge even if you forget a few big chunks. 😉
NEWFOUND AND LABADOR WHERE ARE YOU?
man made structures? can we hav part 2 of this? this was a very useful & informative..... video
If your going by using all of Oceania and not Australia then the tallest peak in Oceania/Australia is Mt. Wilhelm in Papua New Guinea at 4509m.
The western half of New Guinea is sometimes considered part of Asia, but it gets fairly arbitrary when cutting country's and islands in half.
The western half of New Guinea is part of Indonesia and not Asia, Indonesia is a transcontinental country.
Puncak Jaya: excuse me
So if we are including just countries that are entirely in Oceania is the tallest mountain Aoraki?
Papua New Guinea is in Oceania@@boomertuxx
@@abydos7775 Papua New Guinea is yes
Lake Baikal is deepest lake in the world and hold most fresh water by volume in the world.
U got the tallest mountain for Oceania wrong. If u don't take into the one on new guinea mount cook in nz is taller than Australia's tallest mountain
All things considered though, we do count PNG as part of Oceania so Mt Wilhelm is definitely our tallest in the region 😊
Love the way you present your content! It’s both informative and entertaining. 🎥👏
oh-shee-ANN-ee-ah There are some (slightly) varying pronunciations of Oceania, but none of them elides (skips or ignores) the sound of the i, or collapses the -nia into a single syllable. Good video!
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.
@@SiansoneaThat's better than anything that makes the -ia into a single syllable and it has some logic to it. But the standard pronunciations don't have anything like that-not even listed as nonstandard variants-after searching at least the major dictionaries. Maybe I just haven't seen all the options in my searching.
But..
That's how someone from Yorkshire/Northberland would say it....and as it was founded by someone from North Yorkshire..
....I'm gna allow it 🤷🏼♂️
@@Alex-zs7gw Hahahhaaha fair enough. But what was founded by someone from North Yorkshire? Oceania?
The ia in Oceania is meant to be pronounced as the ia in Australia. You don’t pronounce it as Australa.
" It is generally accepted that there are 7 continents".
Literally everybody except the US: No
Interesting stuff to while away the early morning. Thanks!
Possibly annoying question: what's your accent? I'm guessing somewhere like Durham
13:40 Lagoa dos Patos is a lagoon located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. It is the largest lagoon in South America, 265 kilometers long, 60 kilometers wide (at its maximum extent), 7 meters deep, and a surface area of 10,144 km². It extends in a north-northeast-south-southwest direction parallel to the Atlantic Ocean, from which it is separated by a peninsula.
In Portugal we learn the continents, Eurasia, América, África, Antártida And Oceânia. and Europe is the biggest peninsula from the world
Everything could be a peninsula of something until you hit 50 of that landmass. At a certain point, it becomes menial and useless.
How old are you? I'm Portuguese and I learned in school that Europe and Asia are different continents.
Huh? Im portuguese and we do not learn that. We learn Europe and Asia as different continents, as well as North and South America
When talking about the Volga River in Russia youre showing the Ob River. @10:50
Even though I was familiar with most of these facts, your great visuals made this video super enjoyable! Great job, it's very well done.
Didn't think about the Caspian Sea. My mind would've pointed to Lake Baikal instead.
Wasn't the Aral Sea once larger than the Caspian?
Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and ranked 7th by area.
At 13:20 you say Lake Superior is North America’s largest….however…Lake Michigan & Lake Huron are actually very connected through the Mackinac Straits and have the same elevation and at an area of 50,000 square miles (just short of 130,000 square km) is the world’s largest freshwater lake!
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!
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.
Only by area. There will be less water in them than in Verkhny, since these lakes are quite shallow.
@@TheCriminalViolin The reason Lake Michigan-Huron is one lake is because the water level is approximately the same across the entire lake. Lake Superior is ~25 feet higher and Lake Erie is ~10 feet lower.
There are non-arbitrary definitions of lakes, rivers, seas, etc. that naming conventions do not always follow (e.g. Caspian Sea). This video should follow scientific definitions of bodies of water instead of using the name of the body of water taught to 6th graders.
Your standpoint boils down to "I learned it this way in school and things can't change when we learn new things." Lake Michigan-Huron is a single lake. The Caspian Sea is a lake. Pluto is not a planet. When new details are learned, the scientific community can update classifications.
I’d like to see a list of mountains by prominence. These mountains seem larger because the surrounding land is comparatively low. Or the largest massif, like mount Logan in the Yukon Territory!
Why? Height is height. If its 1km high, its 1km high. No matter if all mountains in the area are 900 meters high, or if the whole area is at sealevel.
@@murderboytje there’s different measurements for the tallest mountain, so technically there are 4 tallest mountains depending on the parameters. If you go by altitude, then it’s everest, if you go by the farthest point from the earths core thanks to earth’s bulge, it’s chimbarazo, if you go by tallest base to summit then it’s mauna kea but most of it is submerged in water, if you go tallest base to summit on land, then it’s Mt. Denali
@@Tatusiek_1 Thats not what he said tho. As its clearly height from sealevel. He wants them next to eachother, as flat or mountain ranges can look differently.
@@murderboytje if a 5' tall person stands on a 1' stool, it doesn't make them 6' tall.
@@Chase3141 Its compared to sea level so useless. And the guy i reacted on doesnt wants people between 1m75 and 1m80 close together (lets not use lame inches pls, nobody uses that). As thats not clear. But only someone thats 1m80 singled out lol. As if that makes a height different.
The river shown in the video at 10:49 is the Ob’, not the Volga.
5:32 why wouldn't they use New Zealand's tallest mountain Mt Cook? it's 3,724 m tall
Yeah this video isnt the most factual honestly, apparently new zealand isnt part of oceania i guess
The tallest mountain is in the Pacific ocean and is called Mauna Kea. Everest is the highest point of the planet.
I was saying that to myself!
And Mount Chimborazo is the furthest point from the centre of the earth
No, no one measures from the sea bed everyone uses, sea level
@@andrewjohnson1467 no one measures from the center of the Earth either
Distance is a unit of length, measured in km. Km2 is the unit of area.
Fun fact: Did you know that Europe and Asia share the same tectonic plate?! Europe and Asia are so different, but when you think about it, the caucus region and Western Asia are like a gray area between Europe and East Asia which is what most people think about when they hear the word Asia.
no, most people think of east asia when hearing "asia", we all know they share the plate, still different continents due to culture and language though
Culture and langue don’t make continents. It’s a continent only because of Eurocentric views. If it was just based off language and culture than Africa would be multiple continents because the sheer diversity.
@@isaiahlee5299 And yet a lot of Latinos consider North and South America to be the same continent. Hey, even Panama and Colombia are very different from each other.
then why doesnt everyone else consider europe and asia the same thing?@@isaiahlee5299
Sigh.... He literally shows in the first seconds of the video that its all connected.
Thank you for knowledge
That map of Canada at 3:35 looks suspiciously like one from a hundred years ago...
If you put the actual size of Greenland next to Australia, you will realise that Australia is technically the largest
at 10:49 why is the Ob river highlightet instead of the wolga river.. this is a little confusing
You could hav added largest deeserts too, like Sahara, Antarctica siberia gobi , i mean wherever they are
Interesting video,you always makes my day better
Why Lake Titicaca and not Lake Maracaibo? Lake Maracaibo is larger than Titicaca.
Well, you should know that lake Maracaibo is not a lake. It is very well connected to the ocean, it's just that the place where it joins the Caribbean Sea is a thin strait. It is more or of semi closed bay.
“Equatorial bulge” is just great 🙌
You should include largest unused land space, just so you can include the southern hemisphere.
The image of Canada, at 3:34 is missing all the land at the top. It's Canada all the way up to Greenland.
I'm loving this channel!
Thanks a lot
3:35 Canada is also the largest country in the Americas and it is the one with the world's longest coastline.
Interesting 🧐 Great video!
Bro,that's not the Volga
Your picture of Great Britain included all the small islands around it as well
Next video : Perfect geographic country
The largest lake in South America is Maracaibo Lake, located in Venezuela at 13,820 km2.
Why are large lakes like the Caspian Sea called seas?
because people back in the day didnt know any better, they just assumed it was since they didnt have sattelite imaging, and the caspian is slightly salty
Everest is the most famous mountain?
I think Fuji, Kilimanjaro, or perhaps the Matterhorn might be up there…
Mont Blanc also needs a mention as the birthplace of western mountaineering.
3:54 Apart from Chile and Ecuador Brazil borders every country in South America. Brazil is the world's largest country that speaks a Romance language.
Lowest points on each continent. Country farthest away from the nearest coastline for each continent. Countries with the most neighbouring countries for each continent. Longest and shortest coastlines. Coldest and hottest points in each continent.
No problem, but I was waiting to hear about Lake Baikal. I thought that I heard that it has the greatest VOLUME of water in any lake on earth. Maybe not, I don't know.
yes baikal is the deepest lake and therefore has the most volume :)
@@miramarina8467 deepest isn't the same as volume. Volume is a 3-dimensional measurement while height/depth is 2-dimensional. And the video seems to be going by surface area which is another 2-dimensional measurement.
It holds the most fresh water in the world. Caspian Sea might hold more water maybe, but I'm rather sure Caspian Sea has salty water.
@@TrolledBy, that's right. The Caspian, Mediterranean, and Aral Sea are all remnants of the Paratethys Sea part of the ocean system and this are all salty bodies of water.
@@TheSpiritombsableyein this case Baikal is both the deepest fresh water lake and has the biggest volume of it.
Dick Bass certainly has some balls
Fun fact did y'all know that the main island of Hawaii is actually the tallest mountain in the world because most of it is underwater
Good video
1:00 40% op Europe gone😭. Who draws these maps?
Smallest Island: An atom of Grass surrounded by Water Atoms
You should do the lowest point in each continent by sea level
Here in Colombia we learn that the continents are: America, Eurasia, Africa, Antarctica and Oceania. Here we they tell us eurasia as the continent, but because of the cultural differences between both, they teach them separately
4:05 Argentina is much smaller than Brazil (2.78 million vs 8.51 million sq km) but it is the world's largest Spanish-speaking country.
2:34 why did the Western border of China fully consume Eastern parts of Kazakstan, up to the Balkhash lake? A new territory claim?
so you missed all the northern arctic islands in Canada with that outline.......
Mt Damavand is the highest volcano in Asia, even higher than Fuji
I still call North America's tallest mountain Mt. McKinley. Since that was what it was called basically all my life. I don't care about the liberals crying and appeasing native Alaskans sensibilities. lol.
I love how this is so serious for no reason.😂
2:48 Australia is the only English-speaking country with compulsory voting.
I think it's so facinating how Lake Bikal is home to the only inland Seals, unique freshwater green corals, large prawns, deepest oldest lake. Thickest statement at it's lake bottom. *Then Lake Titicaca is the tallest Lake with jellyfish & people who build floating islands thry build upon. *Lastly the abundance of ocean life in the antarctic waters is just mind blowing. It's amazing how much life flourishes there as well as there isolated lakes under the ice there as well.
What is Bikal?)))))
@@Alexandra_Indina it’s the Deepest lake on earth, also in Russia.
There are other inland seals such as the one in lake Saimaa or the Caspian sea.
1:52 Algeria is also the Arabic world's largest and it is the largest country on the Mediterranean.
Now do a companion video.
The smallest, shortest, etc.
There is a lake near where I live could be the smallest lake in the world. Or very close.
I came because of the thumbnail,, it is inaccurate the aral sea does not look like that anymore it hasn't for 40 years the entire area is decimated and it's an ecological disaster..
Don't think I'm going to bother watching the video because everybody in the comments section is pointing out an inaccuracy
I'm going to make the argument that an island is a body of land completely surrounded by water. Therefore, the largest island is Eurafricasia.
At 5:20 you've showed a pic of Ama Dablam instead of Mount Everest
Greenland has more cultural similarities to Canada, and should be Canadian
7:03 GOT ME LAUGHING MAN 🤣🤣
I love your videos❤
10:45 What you are showing is not the Volga but the Ob river, it's in Asian part of Russia.
Why was Mount Kosciuszko mentioned but Mount Cook wasn’t?
Why would it
@@zach2382 Mount Cook is significantly taller than Kosciuszko and is in Oceania
@@brendangarske553 Okay
"Puunkak jaya" oh hell yeah I sure want to climb the puunkak jaya!
But in all seriousness it is puntjak jaaya
Australia is the largest country entirely south of the Equator
Why is Europe a separate continent from Asia? Seems kind of arbitrary 🧐
Yes. And just like Pluto was demoted from planet to dwarf planet, similarly Europe should be demoted from full-fledged continent to just a western peninsula of the Asian landmass.
Why is Africa a separate continent from Eurasia? It's all a contiguous landmass, with only the man-made Suez Canal separating Africa from Eurasia.
@@SiansoneaEven before the Suez Canal was dug Africa was connected to Asian through a very thin strip of land. So Africa can be justified as a separate continent. But Europe is just a western peninsula of the vast Asian landmass and there is actually no physical boundary to separated the Europe peninsula from the Asian landmass. If you insist on cultural thing then Northern and Southern halves of Africa should also be two separate continents. Don't you think so?
@@thecomment9489 well, I think Eurasia is a single continent as well, and Europe and Asia are just subdivisions of it.
Not more than Africa! Before the Suez canal Africa was linked to Asia by the Suez isthmus....
You said that Everest was, “the tallest mountain on earth.” This is incorrect. It is Mauna Kea. It’s just that the bottom 20,000 ft of it is below sea level.
Small corrections - the "Mount" is not needed for Denali. It's just Denali. Also, the "C" in Puncak (and any other Malay/Indonesian word) is a CH not a K.
I'm Australian and I am dumb founded how people think Australia is a continent.. many other small countries in Oceania. Even the dictionary says Australia isn't technically an island as its a continent which makes no sense
Why did you not highlight the arctic islands of Canada?
9:08 actually Marajó island is the largest island in South America. It is located in the Amazon delta and has an area of 50,400 sq km.
Are you sure about the area of the island?
It seems to be a little more than 40 thousand.
The furthest EAST point in the United States is located in Alaska.
Do you know why?
.
Attu Station is positioned on an Eastern longitude.
In asia you pronaunce C as C and not C as "K" in "Can"..so to pronaunce the the Puncak is like PUN-CHA-K and not PUN-KAK 😅..i hope this will help, im from malaysia btw😊
So. There is a big problem with the terminology in this video. Kilometers Squared is not the same as Square Kilometers.
10km squared is 10km x 10km. And contains 100 square kilometers.
Can you increased your voice and make it louder? Like my speaker were at full power yet I barely heard u 😂
1:55 Antarctica is not a country but i consider it a territory of its own and ruled by the antarctic treaty system. there is also 3 dependencies in the reach of the subantarctic convergence zone
Well then, I suppose everything you consider should be written into law.
Good thing you were here to clear that one up 🙏👍
@@peterolbrisch8970 heck yeah
just because antarctica isnt a country doesnt mean the topics of the highest and largest things and others are excluded from the continent, this video is a list of continents not countries
@@Mattyhoohoo-Roblox The only facts that matter to him are what he thinks.
no mention of Mt Aoraki in NZ, which is taller than Mt Kosciuszko?
P.S. it's pronounced "oceania" not "oceana"
thought that too but Mt Wilhelm in PNG is way taller.
Who cares how he pronounces it, it really isn’t that deep
yeah it aint deep, its just hard to understand
That graphic of the Volga River though… I didn’t know Europe extends into Central Asia and the Caspian Sea is located in the Arctic Ocean
Every continent’s lowest point in terms of elevation.
One thing not mentioned was countries with the longest coastlines. I know that Canada has the longest coastline in the world so it's obviously first in North America but have no idea about other continents.
That could be difficult, as it's basically impossible to measure the coastline of any country because of the coastline paradox. A variety sources show completely different lengths in the coastline of some countries, some with differences of thousands of kilometres. So it's better not to give the coastlines
4:02 South America is the only continent where every country borders at least two others.
The second biggest country in Europe now is France with 549.000 sqkm ( excluding overseas territories) because Ukraine lost about 125 . OOO sqkm to Russia.
But I think UN doesn’t recognize that borders
ukraine still officially owns the land
@@Mattyhoohoo-Roblox it's fictional. Like Northern Cyprus it's not controlled by the Republic of Cyprus anymore, or Somaliland by Somalia, etc. You should always show de facto borders, it's the reality on the ground.
Those tectonic plates make it possibly to mine pot noodle in Wales
5:31 the pronunciation of puncak is "punchak" with the c sound like in word "chat"
Greenland is the biggest island is disbr 10:20 uted cuz some people will call Australia the biggest island plus the term of continent is controversial
Just a question...
If Australia’s tallest mountain less than 3000m tall, then why hasn’t New Zealand’s Mount Cook, which is 3726m in height, been included? Papua New Guineas Mt Wilhelm is over 4500m in height, so why hasn’t this been included?
I agree that Australia is a continent not an island, otherwise you could say the biggest island is the island of afroeurasia
I'm from Australia, the country, not the continent but here we refer to our continent as "Oceania/OCE".
