The Canada-US border comparison to Everest is numerically true when units are disregarded.
Brother you cannot call yourself the Geography Bible if you think Mount Everest height is the same length as the US-Canada border
He missed units
🇺🇲🇨🇦 Border is 8890 "km"
Height of Mt everest is 8848 "m"😊
@@Sanandaj_geo even then it should be obvious Mount Everest is not as tall as a continent
@@greatpyramid4348the usa canada border spans the length of a continent
that's just a small mistake
dont respond to the troll guys
I have more random facts:
The Pacific Ocean is bigger than all land on earth combined.
You can fit 34 million Vatican Citys in Russia.
Monaco with 40,000 people has a similar GDP to Somalia with about 17 million.
The sun never sets UK and France because of overseas territories.
India has a higher population than all of Africa.
And yet, France and UK each have a higher GDP than Africa.
In Czechia, beer is cheaper than water.
*cities 👍
Equatorial Guinea is not on the equator
@@ViktorCZ42 no because vatican city is the name. it’s not a general word like city so it’s vatican citys

Awesome
Australia also borders 3 Oceans

Australia borders 3 oceans as well, the Pacific, Indian & Southern.
@@greatpyramid4348 I beg your pardon?
Everest is NOT 8,000+ kms high. It is 8,000+ metres high. Oops.
He said the figure itself not the distance
The numbers are similar, he ddnt say it with distances itself
US Canada border 8891km , Everest height 8848m
@michaellennon873, that certainly would increase the degree of difficulty re. a summit.😂
He did not say in what units only the "figure".
I'd like to watch the video of all the errors made in this video.
@@robert_costello the picture of the tornado was not a tornado but a dust devil.
@@williamk5998 And that landscape looked like an African savanna rather than America
Your videos always enlighten me, keep up the good work geography bible
Wait Everest is as tall as the US/Canada border? Huh?
@@greatpyramid4348 No it isn't.
The US Canada border is about 5.5×10^3 miles long, and Mount Everest is about 5.5 miles high. So *basically* the same 😂
@@greatpyramid4348 No it's not, it's not even close. If this was true people would almost be in space at the top of Mount Everest having run out of oxygen completely hundreds of kilometers further down. Just think for a second.
@@greatpyramid4348 You said the length of the US Canada border is around the same as the height of Mount Everest correct?
@@greatpyramid4348 Do you know what "around the same height" means? I understand how the numbers are similar in different units but "around the same height" means around the same height and they are not that.
keep up the good work geography bible, nice to see your video!
This is cool content and super for education. Thanks for the content !🌍🌎🌏
The segment at 15:10 is amazing, everyone should watch it.
watched till the very end. Love from Nepal❤
I don't know if I can take a channel seriously when they think that Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake.
@@greatpyramid4348, Lake Huron-Michigan.
@@TheSpiritombsableye are you high?
@@jakeedits312, it depends.
Also, it depends on if we are asking about the largest lake by volume as Baikal would win in that department asking with via depth.
@@greatpyramid4348 thank you
The fact that Sweden has the most islands baffled me
1000 km2 is one thousand square kilometers; one thousand kilometers squared is 1,000,000 km2.
10:24 as an indonesian actually I've been to kawah ijen before and i climbed for 4 HOURS
Do you know that what you call "kilometers squared" is actually "square kilometers"? That's what km^2 means. Square kilometres, like square metres, are measures of area. "Metres squared" describes a formula perhaps, but not what the units mean.
Yes 100 square meters is 10x10 meters = 100 m2
100 metes squared is 100x100 meters = 10000 m2
People have mention this in a lot of videos. Don't know if he doesn't read comments or if he can't change. I only know it hurts my ears every time he says it.
Overall excellent information keep it up 👍
Mostly good, but some glaring errors, particularly Nos. 50 and 90.
Love your videos' keep up the good work
Nice content!👍🏻
Who researched this? There are many serious errors! Mt Everest cannot be 8,000 kilometers high - that is 4,970 miles!
Imagine Everest having an Eclipse instead of a shadow xD
8000 m of course not km
@@jojo.s_bekaar_adventures 8,000 Millimeters ≈
26.24 Feet wrong again.
@@LaurenceDay-d2p he didn't say millimeters, he said meters. "m" stands for meters, ignorant.
@@shesh_o I replayed the video - he distinctly said the border of the US/Canada is 8,890 kilometers, and then said that "this figure is the same height as Mount Everest." He did not mention meters. Replay the video.
Lesotho is the only country having all of its territory 1 000 metres above sea level. Its lowest point is about 1 400 metres.

Are people surprised that Cook Islands rank amongst the most obese countries in the world?
I recently became aware that 9 of the top 10 countries for obesity are in the Pacific Islands
too many cooks spoil the waistline
20:22 That's not the US (looks more like the African savanna) and that's not even a tornado, looks more like a dust devil.
Are you an imbecile? That is just a representation of a tornado-looking phenomenon. He doesn't need to show specifics when he is talking about random things like tornadoes.
That's what I thought too
Wow facts 35 and 36 are amazing!
Bro, mt Everest height is in meter and border of Canada and USA is in km
He did that so yall comment about it that gives him engagement so he gets more views

50. South America has the least countries of any continent, at 12? Australia has entered the chat. So has North America.
Yes, French Guyana, (Cayenne) east of Suriname,is controlled by France.
Any corrections to this?
Australia is a bit of a debate. Depends if you are counting those that are part of Oceana (like Fiji, Palau, Somoa, etc), which I think you have to do. With all of those there are 14 in Australia. North America has way more than that. A lot of people think North America is just Canada, US and Mexico, but all of Central America is technically in North America, as well as all of the Caribbean island nations.
@@michellelee2409 There's the cultural tally and there's the geographical tally. I don't think Caribbean Islands would be considered within North America geographically. And I've heard _Australasia_ used to describe the continent plus New Guinea, New Zealand, Samoa and other Pacific nations. But Australia itself I have not heard described as having all those within its continent. As you noted, the line can be drawn in various ways.
North America has all of the carribian islands
@@brianarbenz1329 If those islands weren't in North America, where would they be, 𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺?
I love you for having used the old Persian flag on the map of Iran instead of the new one.

Mostly interesting facts!
Thank you very much for putting in the massive amount of work compiling this list.
101:
Australia has the Lowest High point (Mount Kosciusko) and Highest Low point (Lake Eyre) making it the Flatest Continent.
wait that actually is pretty crazy
Wait, every continent has land below sea level? I thought that was pretty rare
Bro there's so much misinformation 😭

22:29 The USA also borders the same three oceans, via its east, west, Hawaiian, and Alaskan coasts.
I have a random fact:
Norway, Finland, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and the USA, are all 1 country away from North Korea
You forgot Canada
great video
22:29 - The United States ALSO borders three different oceans - and not just Canada and Russia!
How is Indonesia bigger than Australia? We're an island nation! Also, we are the continent with the fewest number of nations - 1! You must learn to respect Australia.
It's not considered an island as it's considered a continent
@@brookehoward-smith3648 We are a Nation comprised of Islands, the same way the Indons are. Thats what we consider ourselves and that should be the end of the discussion. And, given we are Australia, we don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks.
Great video!
now THIS is something that actually needs fact checking.
And what's that ?
Very interesting
15:10 The map seems to only separate regions on country borders. Which means that Big Diomede, an island in the Bering Strait that is part of Russia, and also technically in the western hemisphere, is the western-most part of Asia, and also part of Eastern Europe.

Canada 879,800
Russia 201,200
Finland 188,000
United States 102,500

12:21 #42 What about New Zealand and Thailand, it also part of the name.
They just listed a few examples, not all of them.
@@brianarbenz1329 the name of this video is called “100 incredibly interesting geography facts”…….. so why are the creators of this video just picking and choosing what ’they’ want to report… it would have taken 2-3 seconds to include New Zealand & Thailand 🤦🏻🤷🏻♂️
I thought I would search through the comments knowing someone would have made a correction to his lack of knowledge regarding countries with the word ‘Land’ in them.
In todays era where anyone can find some information about any topic within seconds on the internet but now that AI and apps like chat GPT exist there is no reason why those people who created this video wouldn’t have double or triple checked their content of information before uploading the video…. This is just one of many errors in this video…. The comments section will always keep people in check
Excellent 💯💯 concise but very important and interesting information......needed in day to day life .....please keep it up. I really enjoyed it.

2:50 Brazil is the world's largest Romance-language country and Argentina is the world's largest Spanish-speaking country. Mexico is the world's most populous Spanish-speaking country .
No country may begin with the letter W now but there was a country that began with it until relatively recently. West Germany changed it's name to Germany after reunification.
12:21 erm technically there are 18 countries with the word land in their name because Stan means land🤓
Erm technically Everest is 8,000m not 8,000km🤓
I thought the same thing
good conent bro
I thought the most powerful passport in terms of amount of countries you can travel to was Spain, with 180, and not the UAE
No, it's Singapore.
Timur Leste also has a land border with Indonesia
Cool facts. Imo it would be better if you didn't number them all verbally though
Love your Facts 💖💖
Many of them are true at face value, but don’t use them at a geography bee without more research.
@@graceneilitz7661 Thanks for the heads-up! I'll make sure to double-check the information before using it in a geography bee.
#50 ... Australia is also a continent with a single nation unless you count the nearby islands which are counted as part of the Australian continent for grouping purposes. but as islands, they, by definition, cannot be on a continent.
6:10 Australia is also the largest country entirely within the Southern Hemisphere (in other words south of the Equator).
23:37 That's a cool fun fact about Malta
In no.60 you said all Island countries have no measurable land borders, but this is far from true! Many island countries' consist of part of an island, and have land border[s] with the other countries on that island ie Haiti and the DR on Hispaniola, Republic of Ireland and the UK on Ireland, etc
5:36 Of those 44 landlocked countries 2 are doubly-landlocked, namely Uzbekistan and Liechtenstein.
8:35 most interesting fact of all
56. African country with highest GDP is Seychelles at $21875, not Mauritius and higher than the average at 52 overall despite being small
Never knew there is so many Islands in Sweden wow
Ok , what about Switzerland ?
90. You're telling us Mt. Everest is 8,890 km tall?
I'm 8 minutes into this video, when do the "Extraordinary Facts" begin?
28:59 Okay I hear Salto Angel is actually the world's tallest uninterrupted waterfall
3:25 Algeria is also the Arabic world's largest country as well as the largest one on the Mediterranean .
Ok, I paused it before it started, let's see how many I knew before this video...
I count 36 that I knew the core fact(s) of. Not bad...
US of A also border 3 oceans. Alaska touches the Arctic
US /canada border 5,525 miles. Everest 5.5 miles high so yea you missed on that one
What made me think Congo was the largest country in Africa 😊
Colombia is South America's only country with two coasts .
3:14 Asia is the world's largest continent but Africa is the one with the most countries, fifty-four.

As of 2023, the population of Bangkok, Thailand's capital city, was estimated to be around 11.07 million people in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area (BMR).
The Appalachian Mountains extend into France on the islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, which are French possessions off the coast of Newfoundland.
#52 Mexico is not central America. North America= Canada-USA-MEX. Central America= from Guatemala to Panama
Wow?????? Mount Everest is 8,800 kilometres tall!!!!!
Basically none of these facts are interesting, all of them are like: country big, country small, country many people, country few people. Like come on man, I can google the rankings of these things
@@adrianpietrzak4209 also didn’t know age/ life expectancy has anything to do with geography 😂
I think you mean square kilometres not kilometres squared.
Yeah, same guy who argues that the length of the US-Canada border is around the same height of Mt Everest is a correct "fact"
@@greatpyramid4348 Yeah, let's make a comparison between two objects using different units and say that the two are practically equal in dimension. Makes sense shill!
@@puffdanny2k Don't bother arguing with @greatpyramid4348 - he seems to have his own agenda, and cannot string a sentence together correctly anyway.
@@josephbennett4236 Yeah, it's like arguing with the village idiot. Practically everyone here calls out the "fact" is wrong and he's the ONLY ONE saying otherwise.

The number of people that says NUCELAR, instead of NUCLEAR 🙊
As an indonesian, i appreciate the many indonesian geograpjy facts here
No 77: if you insist in using the "Arctic Ocean" for this "fact" then you must ALSO use the "Antarctic Ocean" (aka Southern Ocean), thus Australia also borders 3 oceans (Indian, Pacific & Antarctic).
uk would border 4
Pretty sure Australia is bigger than Indonesia my guy giving it the title of largest island country
