Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

Suck it Wyoming!
Neither one of you are
(I'm assuming you're in Colorado)
Neither one of you are what?
Sorry. I let internet memes influence a joke response. The .gif was the "Noice (nice)" guy because neither state was at a 6900ft average. Wyoming being at 6700ft and Colorado being at 6800ft.
Landlocked states have an advantage because there’s not a lot of land near 0 elevation.
How the hell is Alaska at half the elevation of Hawaii? There's like a shit load of mountains in Alaska
Average. There’s a shit ton of mountains (volcanoes) in Hawaii too and it does not take long to go from peak to beach.
FL & LA the closest thing to the The Netherlands, then?
And then look how they vote. XD
Delaware is closer.
in more than one way
Elevation, climate, distance, and politics.
Delaware is pretty much a sandbar with corn off of Maryland's coast.
Oh, shoot.
This is the second link that I’m unable to see mBin. What’s the reason?
