31. Did You Fail Geography In Middle School?
The roundness of the Earth should be apparent. Nevertheless, geography can be confusing. Is Antarctica located on the bottom-most part of the Earth, like how globes depict it, or is it laid out at the bottom, the way that maps show? That is a difficult question to answer for many people. What proof do we have besides a map or globe to show us where it’s at? Either way, it appears to be at least near the bottom, no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, if we had passed middle school geography, we would understand that the striped sailboat experiment does show the curvature of the Earth and that there are also other ways to see its curvature. Nevertheless, like it was stated above, some just won’t believe it, even if they see it with their own eyes. We would know that weather patterns form in the atmosphere, influenced by the sun. Furthermore, the moon affects tides in the ocean as well. Nevertheless, none of that matters because the Earth is flat. Ask any flat earther, and they’ll agree.
