Geography 101!

no fjords? i demand a refund

I'll still interchange sea - with - ocean Jungle - with - forest Beach - with - coast Beach for me = when people are in a coast 😂

Where’s a Slough?

I read "desert" as "dessert".

Wow, are there more learning materials like this? I think this really helps me remember those obscure terminologies.

It's great and I wanna know the difference between gulf and inlet

What is the picture?

Very unclear and a few words that native speakers would never use.

Some thoughts for anyone interested: Arctic typically refers to a region, not a specific geographic feature. Anything north of 66 degrees north of the equator would be considered "arctic" (aka near and around the North Pole). Gulch and butte are not really used in casual speech unless referring to a specific location (Sawmill Gulch, Coldwater Gulch, Black Butte). No one really says estuary. If the topic of salt water and fresh water mixing comes up, most people would just say it's mixed water, briney, or brackish. Unless you're a professional or a scientist, then say estuary.

It took me a minute to figure out why ‘sky’ and ‘clouds’ were labeled ‘sea’ and ‘arctic.’

Interesting. So a gulch is a fjord?

butte is one I didn't know. (been living in english speaking country for 25 years)

That’s helpful!

So every cape is a peninsula, or every peninsula is a cape?

Some of these aren’t the best representations of the actual geographical features but it can slide on account of being more for English learning than geography
