FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 When you look at a satellite map, the colors displayed range from white to deep brown. Earth's features—from icecaps to deserts—offer a seemingly infinite range of color when photographed from on high. Data scientist Erin Davis creates awesome data visualizations to help bring the “big picture” into focus. She used satellite imagery from a satellite which observes Earth. Using coding and computer programs, Davis collected data to create special geotiff images. First, each focus area was decided on—whether it be a country, a state, or the world map. Then, the images were converted to a png file, which allowed Davis to take the average of the colors within.

New Zealand is part of the British empire (technically) and we are NOT British at all Having that mark on your flag doesn't mean shi.t in 2021.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that it was originally entirely covered by a big forest, most of Europe's forests were cut down since Antiquity. I don't know about the other continents, but is probably the case too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
