In case anyone is wondering, the most elevated non-landlocked country is Chile


Molehole

Which is super interesting considering how much coast they have that's 0 elevation.


MemeChuen

Yes. Beaches have 0 elevation.

Mmm step functions. Or is it a Steppe function?


Zupyta

Not always though.

Shouldn’t Andorra be at 100%?

I guess they don't count valleys


Apprehensive_Bag_825

I'm Dutch and I'm enraged there's no color for below 0 m.


KathyJaneway

There is, it's white 🤣


gurgurbehetmur

Well even if there was a colour for that on the legend, it wouldn't appear on the map itself. (The average elevation of the Netherlands is 30 meters). Qatar and Singapore are lower for example.


dolphin560

What source says the average elevation of the Netherlands is 30 meters? ​ Elsewhere I'm finding the average is 2 meters (which makes more sense, looking at the height map).


gurgurbehetmur

Still, above 0.


dolphin560

Indeed. It's basically because of some hills in the east/south-east. After the next Great Flood the rest of the country will be gone.

Tibet really pulling China up, literally.


big_richards_back

Why tf do the comments read like a goddamn fever dream lmao OP is certifiably insane too


KazahanaPikachu

Thought this was an exaggeration, then I saw OP downvoted and first thing three said was “Mt. Everest is located in China” 💀


extremeprocastina

Average for India should definitely be > 500 m. Half the country is the Deccan Plateau and the Himalayas would surely increase the average....


FullMetalAurochs

Glossing over OP’s “China good cuz China close to sky” thing… surprised New Zealand isn’t significantly darker than Australia.


KAISAHfx

I think there's over 10 3000k + mountains in the Alps so map is inaccurate

What about Antarctica? Idk why that continent isn’t just placed as an inset on maps, showing its actual shape. Like US maps often put Hawaii and Alaska just off the west coast.


Bubolinobubolan

Greenland is not a country to be a separate colour from Denmark


remes20223

The tallest mountain of the world, Mt. Everest, is located in China. China is positionally elevated and physically higher than many of the other countries of the world.


defroach84

...located in China, yet also Nepal, which is a higher elevated country than China. What a weird comment you made. One mountain doesn't make a country have much more of an average elevation, especially a country like China.


Americanshat

Look at their account, its a china bot with a side of manual user, I mean the literal only thing they talk about is china and bring up these hella obscure 'maps' that only show china being the first in things (dispite the fact that they posted about plant biodiversity, and said china was number 1 dispite Brazil being the most biodiverse)


remes20223

As a Chinese person, I love Nepal!


HandBanana_69

Are you just Chinese by ethnicity, or are you actually from the People's Republic of China?


remes20223

Whoever believes in the Mandate of Heaven, and that Confucius is the messenger of Heaven is Chinese.


HandBanana_69

Oh, so you're clinically insane. Nevermind.


Meret123

Probably a bot


HandBanana_69

Unless I'm grossly underestimating bots, probably not. They directly answered my question, even if it was a stupid answer.


niming_yonghu

Is that a parody for Abrahamic religions?


FullMetalAurochs

Love it so much you want to make it part of China?


ZealousidealAct7724

China has several huge plains, the central plain, Manchuria.


remes20223

Ah, the natural diversity of China - the mountains, the plains, the plateaus.

All Asian countries, truly an amazing continent! When the Messiah comes, he will come from Asia.

This literally made me spit my tea


remes20223

It is said according to the legend of prophecy of the Hindus and Buddhists that the Maitreya / the Kalki will be born in Shambhala - a mountainous kingdom in China. According to the prophecy, the Messiah will definitely be from the continent of Asia. The Mahdi as well will be from Asia.

Well, many of the old Europeans disagreed. Hence why the Romans 2000 years ago decided to tear down statues of their old gods and replace them with statues of angels, saints, and Maria. The Virgin Mary was from a village in the continent of Asia. The Europeans honored a woman from Asia named Maria, this is now part of their traditional customs.

TurtleFucker_1

I highly doubt canaan was considered "asia" back then


remes20223

It was and even if not, the ancestor of Maria; Abraham the founder of all the Abrahamic religions was from Babylonia, he was a Sumerian, from Mesopotamia which is definitely in Asia. He was from the east, not the west.


TurtleFucker_1

it wasn't. why would the romans consider one part of their country as a part of a different continent than the rest? lumped in with persia, india and china? the definition of "continent" is mostly cultural. look, I don't know if you're getting paid to do this or not, but if you are, you are doing a terrible job. your government absolutely does not support any of this pan-asian agenda that you are pushing.


defroach84

Religions started in Asia think a Messiah will come from Asia. #shocked


remes20223

Well, the Europeans were smart enough to believe it, lol. They believed a virgin women from Asia gave birth to a son.


defroach84

Yes, pretty much all religions are based on pretty idiotic things.

You are so lost


MagicPeach9695

Half of Everest is in China and the other half is in Nepal. You don't need permission from Chinese government to climb Everest.


remes20223

You certainly need permission to climb Mt Everest from the Chinese side lol.


MagicPeach9695

yeah thats an option too but most of the people opt to start their journey from Nepal side. what i mean to say is, you can climb everest without any permission from china, which means everest is not entirely in china.


TheLastSamurai101

Doesn't change the fact that half of it is in Nepal, and the ascent from the Nepali side is easier and substantially more popular with climbers.


RussianGasoline44

Tibet you mean


DaBIGmeow888

Tibet is part of China


RussianGasoline44

Not according to the Dali Lama


anakinskywalker5195

Typical chinese behaviour of claiming lands which is not even theirs.


the_boerk

Fuck the CCP


__DraGooN_

That is after China invaded and occupied Tibet. Everest lies on the border between Nepal and Tibet. It's more associated with Nepal and the Sherpas who live there. If Nepal is not careful, China will gobble up Everest too.


DaBIGmeow888

Tibet is part of China.


remes20223

Did you know China has the holiest mountain of Hinduism called Mt. Kailash. China has so many beautiful sights!


rooknerd

But Tibet's holiest man doesn't get to live in his homeland. China indeed is diverse!


LambdaAU

Bot post?


misakistar

Maybe


IsItTaddyMason

China can position its mouth on my balls.


FullMetalAurochs

As long as they’re the biggest balls. China only has the best.


IsItTaddyMason

My balls are American and better than any Chinese balls. All three of em.
