Guess the map 13: Mercator maps are cool, actually

[Deadly Dog]

River bassins in relation into which part of the global ocean they fall into.

Also the Caspian sea is missing from this map. My guess because its a closed system as far as the global ocean is concerned.

Yup, major watersheds of the world, as it was titled. Your go!

I cannot believe that one only took 10 minutes!! I would have though it a hard one.

The Amazon and Mississippi were hard to miss

I don't really have a map right now, so its open floor guys.

 

[Deadly Dog]

Ok, just to buy time while Samson runs his data sets through various functions , another one easy for me to make but maybe more of a proper challenge:

 

[Kyriakos]

Does having the same color mean anything?

 

[Deadly Dog]

Yes, this time colors represent a scale from dark red (lowest value) to dark blue (highest).

 

[The_J]

Is it about nature, or about people?

Until I learn how you are loading datasets into those blank maps

TBH I just take maps from wikipedia .

For some easy custom maps, you can use https://mapchart.net/ .

The Amazon and Mississippi were hard to miss

Oh my, I always thought the Amazon would go into the Atlantic way further south .

Something to do with flooding?

 

[Deadly Dog]

Something to do with flooding?

Water yes, flooding no.

 

[Deadly Dog]

Is it about nature, or about people?

False dichotomy

But seriously, these are natural features shown.

 

[EnglishEdward]

Salinity of artesian basin water?

 

[Deadly Dog]

Not salinity, but you are closing in fast.

 

[EnglishEdward]

Some measure of pollution, perhaps heavy metals, but more likely bacteria-logical, in the water.

 

[Deadly Dog]

Not pollution, and not about the quality of the water. But it is about the water.

I googled the answer I had to check and I got it right

I'm sure you did guess my last comment was handing it to Ed but I guess he had to go, as did I.

If you share I can put up the map with Title and legend to confirm.

 

[EnglishEdward]

I don't have a map ready to post; so over to Gelion.

I guess its @Samson's turn then

The map is about large underground water bassins.

I'm surprised that the US southwest is not colored on that map.

 

[Gelion]

I'm surprised that the US southwest is not colored on that map.

That part around California or somewhere else?


I think its open floor again
