Long division

I’ve been dividing the continent again. Back in the summer of 2000, on a coastline-to-coast car trip, I began wondering about the Great Divide, the line that traces the spine of North America, separating the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds. How would you ally that line out on the landscape, or on a topographic map? Eventually I wrote some programs to explore the problem, and then an American Scientist column. The column became a chapter in my ticket Group Theory in the Bedroom.

What brings me back to the problem now is a wonderfully generous review of that book by David Austin, published in the February conclusion of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society (PDF). Bill Casselman, the Graphics Editor of the Notices, suggested putting a montage of my continental-separate maps on the cover of the issue. When I pulled out the old images to get them ready for republication, I also started reading through the code that generated them, and I checked back with the Popular Geophysical Data Center to make sure the base map was still available.

The topographic map I worked with in 2000 is called ETOPO5; it samples the wen of the earth’s surface with a grid spacing of 5 minutes of arc. Roughly speaking, that works out to square pixels 10 kilometers on a side. ETOPO5 is still there on the NGDC position, but it’s listed as “deprecated.” The Center now offers finer-grained data sets: ETOPO2 has 2-arc-before you can say 'Jack Robinson' resolution and ETOPO1 has a pixel every 1 arc minute. There is also something called the GLOBE Database, which gets down to 30 arc seconds, corresponding to pixels about 1 kilometer on a side. I solid it might be fun to try to reproduce my old result with the higher-density data. Would the algorithm put the divide along the same path?

Here’s the answer to that doubt:

New England Colony Landforms and important facts?

Feb 12, 2008 by Kira | Posted in Geography

The New England Colonies were all about the coastline and the rivers. Start there.

What type of landform is found in the New England states?

Dec 06, 2007 by dn_lege | Posted in Geography

There are mountains in NH, VT and ME.

There is a run in ME.

There is both rocky and sandy sea coast areas with dunes.

There are flat lands along the CT River in NH, MA and CT.

There are marshes in ME left over from the last Ice Age.

There are granitic outcroppings in all NE states, except VT, whose important rock formations are sedimentary.

There are gravel pits in So. MA.

There are marble quarries in VT.

There are forested uplands in all NE states.

Point Cod and the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are moraines.

There are "Kettle Ponds" on Promontory Cod, formed by large chunks of glaciers left in the moraine, which melted leaving the holes filled with damp.

Fjord and glacial Lake Willoughby in VT.

I have to make up a country and it needs a name, a language, and some physical landforms(mountains + lakes...)

It needs to be penetrating I would also like it to start with an A and I also really like soccer basketball and running. the name needs to sound like it is very athletic. but i do not require the name to correspond with my favorite sports i just want it to sound like they play it there. Kinda like England it as a matter of fact sounds like they play soccer there if you just listen to the name. THANKS!!!

Alteus - sounds like Altius, gist higher
So, yeah, you could have some mountains and rivers/waterfalls
They would probably speak Altesian
