Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

What's the difference between a strait and a channel?

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

Or mesa, plateau, or butte?

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Plateau and mesa are differentiated by scope. Plateau covers a very large area, mesa is like a cut-off mountain (it's localised)

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Mesa is basically a flat top mountain. Plateau is a flat area on any 'hill' and a butte is a column with a flat top.

It's the narrow piece of land that connects two land masses.

Not to be confused with Isildur, the oldest son of Elendil and the brother of Anárion.

Are they just fucking with us on that one

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I think they forgot "escarpment." Then again it doesn't get used a lot. Also scree slope, bluff, ravine, and a host of other smaller things are missing. And I suspect even if they got all of those things, they'd forget "crick" which is a creek that dries up in summer.

Whenever I see this image, I want to play minecraft.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I had this exact poster hanging in my classroom when I taught fourth grade in 2005-2006.

That's supposed to say "cave" right? Not cove? (Which I always took to be a sort of micro bay)

[–] Ballistic_86@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I think that might be an ‘a’ but def looks like it could be cove with how low resolution the image is. I suppose that is appropriate, all of my school materials seemed to be photocopies of photocopies.
