Geographic misconceptions about the location of continents

Uma estória sobre a geografia com boas animações
Misconceptions often seem to have a life of their own.
If learned early on, a foundationally incorrect view of the world can perpetuate, as students naturally build knowledge in light of a past, incorrect, understanding. Something as basic as our assumptions about the relative locations of Earth’s continents is an interesting, and actually sort of fun, example of how we can get things wrong right off the bat. Ultimately, everything is learned, but some curious geographic errors tend to persist more than others.
So what are some tantalizing locational mistakes that seemingly come pre-installed in American students’ minds that geography teachers wrestle to overcome?
So glad you asked! Here is a cherry-picked handful of examples that we’ll dive into…
- The northiness of Africa
- The northiness of Europe
- The eastiness of South America
Midterm elections 2022: The issues that matter to Americans

As the 2022 midterms approach, see which issues people in your congressional district care about
All politics are local.
To identify the most decisive issues for this year’s midterm voters, Axios dug through Google Trends search data in each congressional district.
We are tracking two trends:
- Absolute interest, which ranks the topics people are Googling most in their districts.
- Relative interest, which compares the interest in a topic from one district to another.
For example, people in Montana’s 2nd Congressional District have been searching about “jobs” less frequently than people in most other districts. The topic has low relative interest there. But in the same district, people search “jobs” more than any other topic listed. So “jobs” still comes in as No. 1 for absolute interest.
You can learn more about how we measure absolute interest and relative interest below or scroll down to explore the results on your own.

One million of us

Uma história das mortes por COVID nos estados unidos ilustrada com gráficos unitários e de linhas acumuladas.

The pandemic’s death toll in the United States has surpassed 1 million people. Conveying the meaning or the magnitude of this number is impossible. But 1 million deaths is the benchmark of an unprecedented American tragedy.
Consider this comparison: The population of D.C. is about 670,000 people. Try to imagine life without every person, in every building, on every street, in the nation’s capital. And then imagine another 330,000 people are gone.
To attempt to put the 1 million deaths in context, we plotted its damage over more than two years and compared the continuing death toll with the tolls from previous catastrophes in our history.
Remembering the lives lost to COVID-19 in America

Na tentativa de mostrar a proporção dos números os autores apresentam uma estória gráfica baseada no tamanho de losângulos
As COVID-19 began to spread in the U.S. in March 2020, Trump administration officials estimated 100,000 to 200,000 Americans might die. A worst-case scenario, they said, meant between 1.6 million and 2.2 million might perish. The figures felt staggeringly high.
Two years later, the U.S. has reached 1 million deaths even as COVID has faded from the headlines.
At this grim milestone, we sought to refocus on the scale of loss suffered. Scroll below to see more.

Linking the devastating 2021 fires and floods in British Columbia
A Sparkgeo Story Map by Gordon Logie
2021 was a very damaging year for the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC), with the weather exacting a heavy toll. A record-breaking heat wave led into a severe wildfire season. Following these, an extreme winter rainfall event led to catastrophic flood damage which cascaded through the Canadian economy, disrupting major arteries for travel and trade.
Here at Sparkgeo, we are interested in the role that geospatial technology can play to help commercial organizations, municipalities, and the general public adapt to the challenges of a changing climate.
We believe that geospatial technologies can help not only to assess the damage from climate disasters, but also help reveal the underlying geographical factors which contribute to where and why damage occurs. This type of analysis may enable models to predict a particular location’s exposure to climate-related risk factors.
To explore this further, we present a research project examining linkages between the wildfires and subsequent flood damage in 2021

Boas visualizações neste infograma sobre os veículos usados nos 25 filmes do James Bond
The name is Bond, James Bond.
2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the first James Bond movie, Dr. No. This movie became a seminal moment in cinema, and established many of the tropes which would become iconic throughout the franchise: the thrilling theme music, the gun barrel sequence, ending the movie in the arms of a beautiful Bond girl… often somewhere out at sea, on a boat.
But between Dr. No and No Time To Die, Bond has used a lot more vehicles than just boats. Let’s explore the cars, airplanes, tanks and space shuttles throughout all 25 official Bond movies!

Cold, heat, fires, hurricanes andtornadoes: The year in weather disasters

Uma boa (e longa) história contada com mapas dinâmicos e muitas fotos

Vicious wind and tornadoes put a deadly exclamation point on the end of an extraordinary year for extreme weather in the United States.
Earlier in 2021, Texas froze and Seattle roasted. Parts of California flooded, burned, then flooded again. A hurricane that slammed Louisiana was so waterlogged that its remnants inundated New York City. A blizzard hit Hawaii.
The weather was wilder than usual this year, and the reasons vary, climate experts say.
Crazy cold snap? Giant hail? December tornadoes? Those happen now and then on a planet with natural variations in weather patterns.
But evidence increasingly shows that historic heat waves, monster rain events and ultra-intense storms are exacerbated by the warmer air and water of our overheating planet.

The Arctic is changing, but what does that mean for the north and the rest of the planet?
The Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the global average.
Climate change is transforming the Arctic, impacting people and ecosystems across this vast region. But because our climate system is connected globally, what happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.
Discover how Arctic landscapes are changing and learn about the consequences for communities across the globe.
