17. Incorrect Flat-Earth Theory: Weather Is Created Solely By Land Masses
You have probably been (erroneously) led to believe that weather is created in the atmosphere by forces such as global tidal patterns, the jet stream, and the sun. Nevertheless, we are sorry to say that you are so sadly mistaken, according to the flat earthers. They will tell you that it is landmasses that create and affect the weather. Furthermore, don’t try to tell them otherwise, because they won’t be convinced that it isn’t true, even with proof from scientists themselves, it seems.
According to flat earthers, mountains, hills, and valleys, all make their own weather patterns. While there is some truth to that claim, these land formations do impact weather formations. The flat earthers use a tiny kernel of truth to create a completely untenable theory. It is not the only thing that affects and creates weather. Do you see a pattern here with that? Trying to convince those who believe the Earth is flat would be like a never-ending battle of right and wrong, no matter what proof is given to back up their beliefs and the truth.
