"A Peruvian crop planted in Canada will most likely die"
*Laughs in potato*
That's because of it's native altitude making it versatile. Corn on the other hand...
Man... I wish I knew this before joining a blood-in-blood out cocaine cartel in Nova Scotia.
@@user-ft3jq5vi2l I mean, southern Canada has a similar climate as Poland - there are lots of corn fields in Poland, so...
Cries in cocaine
@@Terrus_38 genetically modified corn is grown in Canada
Today's out of context Artifexian quote:
*Just ask corn, or the British.*
Can't go wrong.
*old English noises*
Wait, I'm not British and the part if the USA that i live in is highlighted....
@@hypercoder-gaming Are you thinking that it's showing what Britain owns today? If no, then I am very confused about the question.
@@hypercoder-gaming Jesus Christ, does American education not even cover that the USA was a British colony at some point? What the hell...
I think you just compressed a week's worth of high school geography into a 9 minute video.
Can also confirm, covered the same stuff in college level earth science. Did take about a week.
We didn't go any near that deep in high school
Basically.
All this has been smudged into this video?
its a miracle
I appreciate the preemptive breakdown for tidally locked planets. :p
Everyone wants to know about tidally locked worlds.
Artifexian I naively thought they weren't very common in fiction until I started researching the logistics of one as a setting.
I thought that too, my friend told me about worldbuilding and I had heard that GRRM had used a binary star system for one of his books and so I thought I would choose a different astronomical phenomena... only to find out it was already a popular idea.
It hasn't stopped me learning a tonne about geography and biology though and while originality is always good, narratively, having a built world is nothing compared to writing ability. Your world can be boring as hell but as long you have interesting characters and some meaningful text, people will like it.
What about tide-locked worlds orbiting a gas giant?
@@jeffreyhueseman7061 That's a moon, most big ones are tidally locked.
This episode brought to you courtesy of Corn!
Corn: The British Empire of the Plant Kingdom!
I used to do fictional writing a while back, and have always had a keen interest in geology and the study of worlds, so while I may not be writing any more I just wanted to tell you that every single vid of yours I've watched has been a great source of educational entertainment, and it's been making me think more and more about getting back into writing again!
Do it!
It's also useful to keep track of prevailing winds if your fantasy (or soft sci-fi) world has any unique airborne stuff...or unique landborne stuff that can be turned into dust, for that matter.
Yes!
Like airships or wind carried plagues!
Ratchet4647
Or sailing!
And modifying wind patterns for land mass isn't all that much additional work, usually. The first 2 links in the doobly-doo are for Geoff's Climate Cookbook, though a lot of the same processes have already been covered by Edgar here on Artifexian. The Climate Cookbook is more for the accuracy/verisimilitude focused worldbuilder with extra time. Edgar's technique is a lot more practical.
Equally taking note of global-scale disasters like volcanos, celestial impacts or more modern nukes, antimatter or whatever.
Could also help model spread of airborne infections if you're doing some viral outbreak.
Thanks for explaining that part about the Coriolis effect. My geography teachers never bothered to say why it had the three different cells. They just sort of hand-waves it by saying "Coriolis effect" and didn't say why. I studied geography at A-level, but you managed to teach me something interesting in the first two minutes of this video, that is directly related to my geography syllabus that I somehow managed to go 4 years without learning.
Corn and the British
Random Potato You called?
Hi, I live next to corn. I'll ask him whatever you want to know.
I live with the british
And potatoes. And there are those british hippopotamus fossils.
The two genders
Still waiting for a detailed video about possible sky, star and moon colors.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.
Me too ... Thought i think most habitable planets sky colors would be blue
Lord Zephyros
Assuming the native species breath the same gases as Earth.
BonaparteBardithion since habitable planets will have mostly common gases (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen,etc) and gas is transparent ... Light will scatter to the blue spectrum hence thats why it would be the most common color. I could be wrong though
I discovered your channel years ago when looking up conlanging stuff, but only recently subbed because these worldbuilding videos are absolutely top notch.
Aw! Cheers, pal. Happy to have you on board. :)
Great video!
Cheers, pal. :)
I was actually thinking of making a similar video but now I don't have to ;)
The conversation between two legends.
Oh yes, I saw the Catatumbo lightning mention coming when you were talking about Mordor everlasting thunderstorms. It's great to have my country on the spotlight! :D
One day I will visit South America. Want to go so so bad.
Nice! Where would you like to go first? I'd suggest Colombia, because it has a very accurate Latin American culture (also it's a lot safer than its Eastern neighbour).
Nigu accurate? What do you mean by accurate Latin American culture?
Ratchet4647 I'm pretty sure that if people want to go to a place thinking of the words "Latin America", Colombia may look the most like what they're imagining. I may be thinking stereotypically though (I'm Latin American, however)
You mean it's great to have your country in a GOOD spotlight. Catatumbo at night is the safest, friendliest place in Venezuela right now.
I really love these videos. They have inspired me to do so much more worldbuilding. First, I was just making a little island civilisation and I was going to make them a language but now I am going to make a whole world for them and figure out how their weather is and how that will affect their architecture and what types of plants and wildlife they have.
Liked before finishing. I knew it would be good enough at the start.
Thanks, pal. :)
This is so incredibly well documented. :-o Worldbuilding beyond enjoyment, into science and hardcore realism. Thanks for transmitting that!
No probs, pal. Glad you enjoyed.
I just realized my first fictional planet had continents almost entirely in the Temperate Zone, but had an average temperature of only 11 Degrees.
Makes me wonder just how cold the north and south cold zones would be, and if the Hot Zones would be considered what we call ‘Room Temperature’.
How far is your.planet
Question: Would planets with 36 hour days be similar to Earth? Perhaps different sized wind cells maybe?
You really have good instincts for when and how concepts need visual representation. You explain just enough but not too much. And it's really nice that you reused the world you made before. It really helps tie things together in my brain.
You've posted some great videos on astrophysics, geography, language and a bit of vexillology, but do you think you'll ever do something on biology? Evolution, ecology, something like that?
I think it'd be met with positivity by your current fans, but also attract a whole new audience of people. Since some spend a lot of time in their worldbuilding developing things like fauna and flora, I was wondering if you'd post any content on that too.
I think Bibliaridion has got that covered with his speculative biology.
Glad to see that here at Artifexian we follow the Cave Johnson School of Projectile Sciences: "We fire the whole bullet! That's 65% more bullet per bullet!"
Would the tilt of the planet effect the latitudes of the cells?
Yep. The tropics, or subtropical ridges, would have the same latitude as the axial tilt, and the polar fronts would have a latitude of (90 - tilt).
Yeah - for example, the ITC follows (with a time lag of a few weeks, and distorted in shape by the landscape) the latitude where the sun is in the zenith over the seasons - thus, your planet's axial tilt determines the limits of latitude within which it will move, and thus also the latitudes of the cells associated with it.
On a micro scale
Kevin Gillette
Cells are made by rotation
The tilt affects only the borders, making them move north-south during the year
No the cells are not effected by axial tilt. Think about it, in the video the number of cells increased the faster the planet rotated irregardless of axial tilt.
Axial tilt will determine the locations of the tropics of cancer and capricorn and the artic circles not the cell boundaries. On Earth these happen to be the same but just look at jupiter.
Axial tilit plays a role in seasonality not in the latitudanal extent of the cells.
Wow, I need to go and look more into this, it's quite interesting! Also having just watched the Hello Internet podcast on Guns, Germs, and Steel, I heard you say Jared Diamond and just reflexively sighed, so that's a thing too. Great video, I love your worldbuilding series!
A little late to the party but this specific video has saved my life as a writer. Currently working on a world & story heavily featuring sailing and diverse island ecologies, and this is exactly the starting point I needed for setting up the global climate. Awesome stuff.
Gosh I love your channel SO much and I don't even world build, it's just extremely interesting to listen to.
I wonder if you are in the majority or minority. I reckon most people here do worldbuild but I'm not confident on that.
Another fun fact about tornadoes. They can only really happen in plains like areas. The wind needs an even ground, otherwise there would be too much disturbance and couldn't keep it's shape.
I thought the same until I saw a clip of one ON A FREAKING MOUNTAIN
Yayyy new Artifexian video!
Whoop, whoop.
+Artifexian Congrats on 100K subs!
6:35 If you're wondering, this maneuver is called a "volta do mar."
Don't mind the historians. Jared Diamond's book, Guns Germs and Steel, has inaccuracies but it's still brilliant. Well done in getting that key point of animals and crops not crossing zones clearly explained.
I like that this counts as studying
Like that's not even a stretch or exaggeration
I have exams in Global Change and Introductory Marine Geology over the course of the next 1-2 weeks and this is important in both of them.
As a geography grad student thank you for reminding me abt climatology 101
This is the kind of content I was expecting. Detailed, relevant, awesome. I'm glad I supported this channel.
This is the first ever video I've watched made by you, but I have a feeling that CGP Grey would be your biggest fan.
has he ever shown us his fictional universe(s)? his videos are specifically to show us how to make our own, but where is/are his?
So happy to see Pixie and Azelor's tutorials over on the Cartographers' Guild referenced in the description :D Expanding massively on Bricka's "Creating and Earth-like Planet" (I think that was the title), which is sadly now fairly difficult to find online from what I can remember, they've put so much work into creating something easily accessible to the world-builder and which is easy to follow :)
They did a great job.
just thought of something
The stormlands of ASOIAF is bordered to the south by mountains, to the east by the sea, and just north of a desert.
It's aptly named
I was waiting for the shoe to drop on Lake Maracaibo as you described your modified Mordor. "That description is starting to sound like that one lake in South Amer- there it is."
Damn, just the i wished a new video on climate ^^
Hope you like it.
Yaaaaay, thank you for putting some lowkey bg music into your videos again!
A Biome placement video will be awesome to see.
Or a video about making up your own corn like plants.
The round casing doesn't follow the bullet on its trajectory, Edgar, it gets ejected. It was jarring watching the whole thing travel north after supposedly being fired.
Edgar follows the Aperture Science method and fires 65% more bullet per bullet.
Haha! I actually had no idea this happens. Have never shot a gun before.
It's an easy mistake to make if no one has explained the mechanics to you, I just thought it was funny. I love your videos keep up the good work!
"Transfer heat from the Equator to the Poles"
Don't mind if I do :poland:
Quick Question: The world I'm working on has an axial tilt of 60 degrees. So, The tropics and the poles are switched. Would this effect the direction of the cells? Like winds would move upward towards the tropical poles, or would nothing change?
5:00 "A peruvian crop planted in canada..." goes ahead and slaps the plant entirely on top of Ecuador lol
best channel ever
Bro, you are a GOD, THANK YOU! This is what I’ve been waiting for!
Well, he IS creating planets and languages for his own amusement.
No probs, pal. Glad you enjoyed. :)
thank you. I love the thunderstorm Idea :3
Cool! Go forth and use it in your worlds.
You saved my life! I had hit a total wall setting this up for my new map.
I’m building a fantasy world, called Pentrine, that’s actually just a few continents ringed by massive walls. These concave walls are roughly two miles high, with opaque “curtains” rising off them that reach into the upper atmosphere. No wind can travel over or through these curtains. I’m having difficulty finding reputable sources that discuss such fantastical ideas.
Would they create enormously powerful downdrafts or updrafts depending on location and season? Would they be raked with constant storms and tornadoes? I have no idea. But I need to figure out the gist of it by saturday, and it’s fun to think about.
Thanks for this video.
Yes a sequel
A third instalment is in the works.
I need to geographically fix the my own fantasy world map. Thank you for making these videos!
im liking this channel more and more
This is something I really would not have thought about on my own! Turns out one of my character's country would be a really crappy place to live... Really hot, frequent storms, hurricanes, so I might need to tweak that! Other than that, how would the planets rotation angle affect this? If my world's is tilted roughly 10 degrees, how does that work?
tilt affects how seasons work. bigger tilt = bigger daytime/nighttime change between summer/winter. Bigger tilt also means the planet is colder overall, because winters are colder = more snowfall which reflects more sunlight. Summers also get hotter, which means they radiate more heat away.
The size of the polar caps may also affect oceanic currents, if one or both of the caps at least partially covers an ocean. Water can transfer much more heat than winds. They follow the same rules as atmospheric circulation, except there may be continents in the way.
In combination with the excentricity of orbit it also affects which hemisphere is colder. When planet is closer to the sun it moves faster, so that season will be shorter and vice versa. In case of earth, it is closest to the sun in January, which is why winters are shorter in the northern hemisphere.
Im not an expert, but im making a world that also has a 10 degree tilt so heres my guess.
As the tropical belt isnt as large (because of the lower tilt) the very hot area around equator would be smaller and not as hot. This would probably mean milder weather compared to here on earth but tropical storms would still happen. This is also affected by the placement of your oceans and landmasses as storms tend to die out once they hit land.
Im guessing the general lower temperatures from the lower axial tilt would result in tamer weather, but it depends on a lot of things that im not qualified to answer with my high school C-level natural geography.
Wouldt high tilt woulds generally be warmer overall, considering the more evenly distributed sunligt it gets?
Mathias Hansen Okay, that seems good. I was scared I would have to change large parts of my setting because of something so arbitrary as winds and stuff.
KohuGaly
Thank you! I will make sure to figure some more of this out, I'll try to make it work! (I am disorganized, don't judge me)
So, when are you going to tackle verb conjugations for conlanging?
Soon. Within the next couple of videos I reckon.
Could you also cover the different forms of tenses and maybe the implications for the perception of time? That's something I'm always interested in!
+Kijnn The tenses your language has have no effect on how you perceive time.
I would recommend checking out David J Peterson's channel (as well as his book, THE ART OF LANGUAGE INVENTION) he's a professional conlanger and is the creator or Dothraki and High Valyrian both from Game of Thrones, the languages from Defiance, the language in Marvel's Thor; The Dark World, as well as many others.
Artifexian Awesome! I look forward to it
That was awesome. Also I love having application to fantasy and then reality. That really brings it all home.
"A Peruvian crop planted in Canada will mostly likely died"
Highlands crops in the tropics: "I'm about to end this man's whole career"
I would buy a book of your collected knowledge as a reference book
I use OneNote to write these things down as a personal reference book. You could do something like that. :D I also find it easier to understand what's being said that way.
Man you put so much effort in !
It's easy to put in the effort when you love doing a thing.
Easily the most helpful worldbuilding video on RUclips.
Your videos are fantastic! You've been a great help for someone who's a hobbyist writer.
Thank you so much for this video and the links in the subscription... thanks to them I finally got some motivation to get back to my current fantasy world after a few months of having none and now with the tutorials I will be able to know so much more about it:) I hope you will give me many more inspiration in the future. Still at the stage of drawing my second detailed wind map. Doing something right really does take a lot of time... but I think it will be worth it. Heck it already is:)
How have these videos not got more attention and followings?!
Congratulations on 100k subs!
As I understand it, you can't have just one big Hadley cell in each hemisphere (as shown at 3:04). Surface winds would be easterly all over the world, so there would be a net eastward force on the atmosphere as a whole. Surface drag has to balance between easterly and westerly zones.
Slower rotation would tend to eliminate the polar cells, though, and to weaken the global zonal pattern relative to more localized patterns like land/shore circulation and the somewhat analogous patterns around differences in altitude.
Great vid as always, now to go back and watch them all over
So much to cover/remember, so little time
And much like portal turrets, you shoot the whole bullet, casings, powder and all. More bullet per bullet. That mistake always makes me laugh, loving your videos though!
Excellent video, my man!
Cheers, glad you enjoyed.
Hey, Artifexian!
Howdy.
Awesome video it is a very complicated subject but you did a good job pulling out the basics. Only thing I 'd have mentioned explicitly would be the descending cells being dry even if it might be self explanatory for some mostly to be consistent (as you mentioned similar processes for tidally locked worlds.
5:40 Like if you had to rewind to see if Khorne had invaded earth.
One thing that's worth pointing out here is that the subtropical highland climate can, and does, yield plants well-adapted to temperate climates (despite the subtropical highlands occurring in the tropics themselves). This is why potatoes, a plant that is indeed native to Peru, thrives in e.g. Canada.
Man, I love these videos. I actually learned a whole lot from this one.
Great episode mate
Thx :)
Guns Germs and Steel was never meant to be the end all be all and i find the critics of the book tend to treat it like it was meant to be that.
Ye, I take GG&S like that. The environment is a factor in how civilisations play out but it's not the only factor.
"Empires are more likely to do their empiring in zones similar to their homeland."
I feel like this is how they should teach this content in schools. Simple, and to the point.
@Artifexian where did you get the latitudes and number of cells for varying earth rotation speed? I searched a lot but never found any information.
Hadn't watched in a while. The new animations are on point.
What about weather patterns on a flat, circular wold? It's cold in the north, hot in the south, and the water runs off the world disk at the edges.
I'd like to make a flat planet video but I feel bad because it'll most certainly get co-opted by flat earthers. Perhaps one day.
Artifexian hahahahah YOU BET
they'll draft you so badly, you won't be able to defend yourself anytime soon.
next thing you know, you're a full-time flattard explorer (with a Prussian helmet), sent out to check the world's edge, and if the turtle has awakened.
"turtle? there is no turtle, this world is carried by a disabled toothless crocodile"
yeah, well, worldbuilding...
the crocodile's name is Znory btw
I'll show myself out...
I think a flat world would be an incredibly interesting conworld, it's just that posting any videos about it would be honey for flat earther flies.
I have a flat and circular world (a la Discworld) and first you need to figure out how your sun is moving. Is it looping over and under your world? Is the world itself spinning? You'll get different insolation patterns depending. For example: if lopping and spinning, you'll get a circular pattern of insolation like the center of your world is the north pole and the outer rim is the south pole. If looping and stationary you'll get horizontal bands across the world. Or, you could "cheat" and have the sky basically be magical (an illusion or construct) and you can get any kind of variation on a circular pattern you want.
Please do more about habitable tidally locked planet.
I can't speak for all historians, but those I'm familiar with think Guns Germs and Steel isn't really a problem, its the journalists and bloggers who read it and think they've unlocked the DEEP TRUTHS OF HISTORY.
But really if you want history instead of whatever GG&S is just pick up Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest.
Wind, Weather, and Mordor
I would really like to see a deep analysis on the one piece world using those principles to find out, for example, how long is the day there and other parameters that could interfere with the super crazy weather over the grand line and the new world.
Stay tuned. Some of this will be addressed.
How would the atmospheric Circulation change if the planet has a tile greater than 54 since the tropics and polars would be swaped?
0:09 Kurgezaght art
Great videos. I've learned so much from this.
It is awesome!
Thanks!
8:49 Gondor calls for aid!
"The U.S. is a great example" D: *cries in harvey and ike* the rain and storm patterns of southeastern Texas have been likened to monsoon like conditions. R.I.P. I guess storms thrive in our bipolar weather.
One quick quibble: There's no such thing as a planet which rotates such that the sun sets in the east, because of the way we define east (and therefore the other three directions) on astronomical bodies. By definition, east is the direction of rotation, and therefore the sun will always rise in the east. A planet with retrograde rotation has north pointing in the opposite direction of the sun's north.
THE BEACONS ARE LIT!
Congrats on hitting 100k subs
actually, fun fact, lighting impacts soil fertility since the intense electrical output can condense nitrogen into usable forms in the soil. Hence why so many religions native to more extreme temperate/boreal regions value the thunder god so much, lighting was the only thing nitri-fying the soil there, granted they just figured out "hey when lightning strikes we don't have fertility issues." but it'd definitely be a cool thing to mess with culturally in a thunderstorm ridden world where the soil and climate is the best for promoting soil fertility.
Epic info as always!
Awesome video , at least the third time I've seen this ... keep it up
The western coasts at 60° latitude (with an Earth-like rotation rate) tend to get a lot of precipitation, especially if there’s a nearby mountain range to the east. This is why Bergen is so famously rainy.
Awesome worldbuilding video. I've been kinda stuck on one of my maps because I want to know where crops should be able to grow and what types of other plants & animals will naturally be in different regions.
Oh that's good.. I have sufficiently high axial tilt to have tropical storms *forming* during the summer at 30 degrees latitude, meaning who the heck even knows where they're going or when.
I was actually looking for this
Also, happy 100k subs!
We have finally proven that Venezuela is basically Mordor. I'm so proud of what we've achieved
