Thank you for another very nice video! On red soil in general (not just US 23:45): It is usually created by a chemical process which requires a relatively warm and humid climate - that is why you would not see it that far north. What do we learn from this? Learn your chemistry - it can help you with Geoguessr 😅
I've actually looked it up and I am still not satisfied with the answer. Seems it's not of the same origin everywhere, different processes can create it- volcanic, or just modification in-situ. And there's some debate about which chemistry is actually responsible. It does correlate with warm and humid climates- and the Southeast used to be a lot more of both before our current icehouse climate.
@@chir0pter That is indeed true - there are volcanic sources of red soil as well. But if you think about non-volcanic areas where you get red soil - which countries come to mind? Brazil, Australia, Cambodia, Central&South Africa. From my understanding of a discussion with a Geography student, those are all examples of Laterites, which are indeed in-situ withering of the rocks under warm conditions with dry and humid periods. I might be wrong though and I am very interested in this stuff - if you have more info then I would be very happy :)
Thanks very much for the tips Kirania. A Green World is a very confusing map for me so I'm thankful you covered some of those games. I'm already feeling a bit of improvement on region guessing the vibe from north to south on eastern Australia coast now. All the locs you covered help me a lot. Appreciate it🐐
23:59 Soil in the Piedmont (halfway between Appalachians and coast) in North Carolina (perhaps SC too) is often very red. You can see it from satellite in construction sites near Raleigh for example. edit: yeah easy to find in SC too

this is a tough watch 😭
Almost as tough as it's gonna be facing you with all you've learnt from these mistakes😈
One day i will be the goat
