back when japan had that super quake and tsunami. scientist had said the earth pole shifted by as much as 2 degrees off its axis prior to the quake... the earth is under constant change. that we wont even notice in our daily life. we can do what we think will help. but the earth is in control. earth quakes, natural fires, valcano's, solar flares ect.. . just something to think about while considering the water world up side down map event.

Still waiting for California to split off into the ocean due to an Earthquake like I was told in high school decades ago.

have been told something siimilar about when the alpine fault ruptures in NZ (lpredicted within the next 50 years) ., apparently the South Island could potentially break into pieces . Want to bet who is the first to split .. I am choosing California biggrin

I have GPS in my vehicle............I don't use maps anymore, upside down or right side up laugh

I only really get disoriented when departing from East ASia.

Hold on .. I am just inverting the world map .., apparently it is the cheapest and most affordable way to travel :laughing:

Hope you are not feeling too dizzy or disorientated .

the first thing you will notice is that Nz (often left of maps ) is on top of the world (yay!!!!’) and Britain is down under 🤪 Apparently travel can change our perspective on life and when our world is flipped we gain a new perspective Have you seen the inverted world map ? How does it make you feel ? : http://travelinglight.com/upside-down-world-map/

First, can u tell me where are you from?? I'm from Bangladesh.

Something else I've noticed is the fact most of the land mass is North of the Equator.

By comparison, A map of Mars with 71% of its surface covered in water shows most of the land mass at its equatorial regions.



Venus shows land mass spread fairly evenly across its globe.



I'm guessing these differences have something to do with each planet's plate tectonics? Venus being the most active and fragmented and Mars being the most stagnated and inactive.

You can't feel it but the Earth's land mass is moving beneath you right now. The map we know today wasn't always the map of Earth.



In about 250 million years the Earth will have yet a different map.



Even then (you might notice) most of the land mass will be North of the Equator.

I'm curious about the orbital mechanics which can make such a unique global trend on only one planet in a system?
How does this affect life development?
Does land mass influence the development of intelligence and civilization?

Its a known fact isolated pockets of land mass develop life unique to that isolation (Madagascar). Fossil records show similar dinosaur species populating specific land masses. It also shows resultant migration when the Central American land bridge developed.

It is hypothesized the American hemisphere was populated due to the Russian-Alaskan land bridge.
Human population then migrated South on the American hemisphere.

This indicates life migrates faster via large large masses.

Large land masses also have different weather patterns than smaller ones. It has to do with thermal differences.

Nothing I can find explains why continental 'tails' mainly point South no matter its position relative to the Equator?

Most people can't be bothered with such questions.
A Flipped World is merely entertaining but when I consider a "Flipped World" my mind explodes with questions. I find it extremely interesting.

But then, I'm weird and I've been "Flipped Out" for quite some time...
