This is a map that my 5 year old daughter Rose made for running a Dungeons & Dragons game for her father and older sister.
The red numbers were added by me during a conversation to create a "key" for the map. Some of my notes are direct quotes from her, where others are paraphrased. I intentionally tried not to clean up language for the map.
Key:
1 Cherry trees and big rats (the rats are eating the cherries).
2 Door to the church
3 Stairs to the basement (the basement is level 1)
4 Gold pile with lots of rings & jewelry
5 Little drawer with lots of dresses
6 Room with not much interesting there. There are evil dogs in this room (the circles).
7 Plain room
8 Room with alot alot alot of bad wolfs
9 Lots of hills they had to walk up to get to the place.
10 A huge spider "I hate spiders, that's why I made a big spider!"
11 "There is alot of men sitting together and they were like totally there to fight, they were ready and had a plan to fight us."
12 Room where people used to come in and sit.

I had trouble finding background information about this strange section of border between India and Bangladesh. As you can partly tell from the lack of relationship between the rivers, the border here does not seem to be based on geographic features. As far as I can tell from the satellite images, the land here is fairly flat and mostly farm land.
Clearly, the border here is the result of some strange decision making. It is hard to know from a glance which side is India and which side is Bangledesh. My original guess was that it was part of the difficult and tumultuous partition of India into Pakistan, India and Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan). But apparently the complexity originates much earlier when the area was under the rule of two different kings. According to Wikipedia, "The enclaves were part of the high stake card or chess games centuries ago between two regional kings, the Raja of Cooch Behar and the Maharaja of Rangpur."
The specific reasons behind the border's strange path is possible to see in the places where the border creates almost a complete loop in it's already erratic course. When I zoom in on these spots, they seem to encircle a single estate or perhaps, a small village. I'd love to know the specifics of how the border-drawing process unfolded. If anyone knows some of the specifics, please let me know.

Well they're actually across our conservatory floor and its with relief that I came to the end of several days of detailed route planning (with my partner; Gary doing likewise down in Doncaster). We have been lucky in The Great Outdoors annual challenge walk across Scotland, insofar as that as its always oversubscribed we have secured a team place through the deciding lottery, yippee! So next May we will be setting off from Shiel Bridge, through the mountains of Glen Affric and on to Fort Augustus through Glen Tarf to take General Wades Military Road the Corrieyarack Pass, on to Glen Feshie, beating up to Braemar, landing at Lochallatar Lodge, getting a taste of Tarfside and on to marvellous Montrose to complete a self-supporting hike of approximately 175 miles of great wilderness and mountain trekking through the most beautiful landscape in all of these sceptred isles!
Mapwonks might be interested to know that they are OS Landranger Series No's 25 Glen Carron, 33 Loch Alsh & Glen Shiel, 35 Kingussie, 34 Fort Augustus, 42 Glen Garry, 43 Braemar, 44 Ballater, 45 Stonehaven & Banchory and finally 54 Dundee & Montrose.
All we want is decent weather and all we need is a decent bit of puff.. We are quite delighted that our proposed route was passed by the assessors first off with no amendments required, well chuffed but its anticipated our heads will be back down to normal by the time we hit the trail. Weel done Gary boy.. Here's tae us.

This map shows a cluster of over 70 earthquake events that occurred from 7 to 8 December 2021 offshore from America's Pacific Northwest. Activity started at 4:21 AM, local time, on 7 December 2021. As of this writing, 74 quakes of magnitude 3.4 or greater have been reported. Fifteen events were in the 5s. The two most powerful quakes were both magnitude 5.8. Clusters of earthquakes are called "swarms".
[Update: 101 quakes in the swarm, up to 10 December.]
This earthquake swarm occurred along the Blanco Transform Fault Zone (often mis-referred to as the "Blanco Fracture Zone"), along which the Pacific Plate and the Juan de Fuca Plate are sliding past each other. Despite the term "sliding", movement is usually in the form of sudden jolts. The Blanco Transform Fault is about 340 kilometers long and has an overall en echelon structure. It offsets spreading centers of the Juan de Fuca Ridge (to the north) and the Gorda Ridge (to the south).

--------------------------------
An earthquake is a natural shaking or vibrating of the Earth caused by sudden fault movement and a rapid release of energy. Earthquake activity is called "seismicity". The study of earthquakes is called "seismology". The actual underground location of an earthquake is the hypocenter, or focus. The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.

The estimated mean annual river discharge into the Mediterranean for recent years is about 10.000 m3/s, with a dry season in midsummer and a peak flow in early spring (Struglia et al. 2004). Ranked according to annual discharge, the ten largest rivers contributing to the Mediterranean Sea are the Rhone, Po, Drin-Bojana, Nile, Neretva, Ebro, Tiber, Adige, Seyhan, and Ceyhan. These rivers account for half of the mean annual discharge, with the Rhone and the Po alone accounting for already one-third of it (Ludwig et al. 2009). Of the three continents that discharge into the Mediterranean Sea, Europe dominates, with a climatological mean annual discharge that accounts for half of the total. The European discharge clearly determines the seasonal cycle for the Mediterranean. Discharge from Asia and Africa is considerably smaller. Discharge into the Adriatic Sea, the Northwestern Basin, and the Aegean Sea, combined, accounts for 76% of the whole. About one-third of the total basin discharge flows into the Adriatic (3.700 m3/s) (data from Ludwig et al. 2009). The Nile, with a catchment area an order of magnitude greater than any other Mediterranean river, has a mean annual discharge of 2.800 m3/s to the Aswan Dam. The discharge is reduced to about 5% of that amount (150 m3/s) by the time it reaches the Mediterranean Sea.

Way back in 2012 yateleyart and Mrs yateleyart spent a few days in Korcula on the the Croatian island of the same name.
yateleyart likes doodling maps and on this occasion he doodled a map of the island in the visitors' book in the house where they stayed.
That was 2012. yateleyart and Mrs yateleyart forgot all about it . . . .
