Maps I Find Unforgettable. My signed sticker set! https://creatormerch.com/products/jack-2025-sticker-set @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff @JackMasseyWelsh @JackAndOscar
on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch & sometimes educational geography related content. I have successfully learned all 197 countries and flags of the world. I also look at interesting maps to teach us more about different parts of the world and their culture. On this channel I also play Geoguessr.

Maps I find unforgettable. Are you closer to the sea or outer space? Wait, what? Okay, so space is
0:06
generally defined as being 62 miles up. So if you're 62 miles inland, technically you're closer
0:13
to space than sea. That's so obvious, but really mental to visualize. It just kind of really makes
0:20
you realize how big land is and also how close space is. Ooh, but look at the UK. Because the UK
0:26
He's a dinky little fella. Most of it is closer to the sea than space
0:30
but I'm actually in this little blue bit. So I'm close to space
0:34
That's kind of cool, actually, isn't it? Oh, look at Japan's. All of Japan is closer
0:38
other than this little bit right there. Proximity to the nearest national park
0:41
So this is in the United States. We can see there is a bit of a dead zone
0:45
where if you're around here, sort of going straight through Texas and up, you're not near any national parks
0:50
But I got loads of them over here. Anywhere that's blue is close to a national park. This side's interesting
0:54
and you'd expect there to be just one more National Park plonk there, but I suppose it's just a very urban environment
0:59
Ah, here we go. The colour of buses across Great Britain. Now, this is a map
1:04
Ah, we can enhance and enhance with such depth as well. So, internationally, when you think of a bus in the United Kingdom
1:10
you're probably visualising it's red, but in reality, it's mainly just London that's got the red buses
1:15
with splatterings across the rest of the country. When I visualise buses that aren't London buses, they're generally blue
1:21
And I guess that makes sense because this is where I grew up and you can see there is a lot of heavy blue and white
1:27
They were kind of bluey white. Oh, this is an insane map. Look at this You can see around manchester all the buses go pretty yellow. Okay, fair enough
1:35
And then it's just kind of a bit of a splattering white bus. I can't really visualize an all-white bus Wow
1:41
So yeah, this is the kind of thing i've never really seen in the flesh
1:45
I'll be honest But for people that live in these areas, you know outside of birmingham and stuff
1:50
Maybe that's what you visualize when you think of a bus. Wow, look at all the green buses in the Isle of Wight
1:54
Do you know what? This is amazing. Look how red they get down here as well, in like Cornwall and stuff
2:00
Ah, this is just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Who put this together? It must have took ages
2:04
Google Street View coverage worldwide. So these days, when it comes to Europe, Google Street View is pretty much everywhere
2:10
There's a few places like Belarus you can see noticeable gaps. And also, as you get into northern areas of Russia, a lot of it isn't covered as well
2:17
which is worth noting when playing Geo, guess it. So let's take a look at the other continents
2:21
USA, yeah, once again, going back to Geoguess. If it's Canada, but you're clicking anywhere other than like near the border, you're wasting your time
2:29
Well, that's extensive. Look at that. Cuba not covered though. Then we have, ooh, not much of Bolivia, but it is on there
2:36
Actually, it looks like some of Paraguay. Well, Mexico, very, very extensive
2:40
And a lot of these Central American countries too. All right, next up, we've got Africa
2:44
So this is where there are huge gaps. Look at that. Once again, it's just all the sort of geoguessor countries is what's coming to my mind these days
2:52
But yeah, you can see so much of Africa not covered. Same with these Middle Eastern areas too
2:57
Madagascar not got a lot of coverage. So that's worth thinking about. It's all sort of in the south
3:01
All right, then we head to Asia. Famously, China does not have any coverage
3:05
India, pretty extensive at this point. So is Oman, to be fair. Look at that
3:09
And finally, we've got Australia and New Zealand. New Zealand, tons of coverage, nearly everywhere
3:14
And Australia covered in all of the sort of inhabitable areas anyway
3:17
Along with some central points too. A map showing only domestic flights within countries
3:22
Ooh. We really are getting some unforgettable maps today So this is flights that start and end within the same country So you going from New York to Florida that kind of thing And we can see a ridiculous number of domestic flights taking place throughout the US
3:35
You know, they are going literally everywhere. You can see they're popping over to Hawaii, they're going to Alaska
3:39
But there's so many that it's basically covering the entire country, which is crazy
3:43
You can also see that for its size, the UK has a lot of domestic flights up and down
3:49
Quite a few spreading right across Russia, which is, you know what? I guess quite surprising because you do think of these areas as being very isolated
3:58
but I suppose, you know, you could still have some small flights there and the odd big one. Loads and loads of flights going on within this area of China
4:05
That is kind of crazy. Same with Japan. Smaller numbers than you perhaps expect in South Africa
4:10
I did obviously not expect it to be as populated as some of these places
4:14
but that still does look like quite a low number. But perhaps it is just because there are so many on this one specific line that we can't see because of the overlapping
4:24
And a lot going on in Spain too. You can see they're going to areas like Tenerife a lot
4:28
Half of the Japanese population lives in the red line. Ooh, okay
4:32
Did not know that. So it does seem like they just follow the southern coast
4:37
That's really interesting actually. Look at that. And then even when it swaps onto a separate island, you can see the line does continue
4:44
Even though they're at the top of the island as opposed to the bottom. Now look at the topographic map
4:48
Okay, so let's see if things correlate. Okay, you can see correlations
4:52
So basically, there are these big mountains here. So these little bits like this bit down there
4:58
Wow, great enhance, enhance. It is just flatter. So obviously, you can build cities and stuff along the coast
5:03
But you know, it's also quite flat all the way up here. I'm just saying it's still kind of sparse when you look at different areas, you know
5:09
And it didn't stretch over onto this side and over here, etc. Melbourne is closer to Antarctica than to Darwin
5:14
That is pretty crazy, you know, because thanks to map projections, you think it's absolutely
5:19
ages away from Antarctica. But you know what? It isn't. Well, actually, it is
5:23
It's 3,000 kilometers. But it's still Darwin's up. Yeah, you see what I'm saying
5:28
Australia's big, basically, is what we're getting at. China's fertility crisis by province
5:33
So this is really interesting. So if you are having children in certain areas, that it does mean that population is going
5:38
to decrease heavily. But in certain areas, it's so low that we're at extinction levels
5:44
which sounds crazy when discussing the human race. I mean, as someone who self-proclaimably knows absolutely nothing about this specific topic
5:52
there's a lot of people in the world. I'm sure we could afford to slow down a little bit, you know
5:56
We're all right. Probably, you know, be quite helpful, if anything. So people are wondering why certain regions have really low fertility
6:04
and it's just quite obvious stuff. All the big Chinese technology companies are over in these kind of regions
6:09
so there's just less going on in terms of jobs and stuff up north. Percentage of population married three or more times
6:16
Ooh. It is interesting. You would think that this would just be randomly spread anywhere
6:21
but there are areas where it is significantly higher, like this state
6:25
What state's that? Can I tell you what state that is? Uh, I know that's Oklahoma
6:28
I know that this one's Tennessee. I have no idea. I pass. Okay, give me a..
6:33
Thank you. It's Arkansas. All right, fair enough. Why are people in Arkansas getting married a little bit more
6:38
than everyone else in the rest of the country? Well, this one guy on Reddit says that everybody is sleeping with everyone else's spouses
6:44
so I guess that's case closed. 1924 US presidential election 59 years after the end of the Civil War Okay so the war was against the South generally this region but it so interesting how 59 years after the civil war ends the populations are still voting for modern day
7:02
equivalents and even today 100 years later there's still a bit of a cultural divide between this
7:08
region and other areas with exceptions of course the migration routes that led polynesian ancestors
7:13
from taiwan to new zealand do you know what how crazy is it to think about this it's 3000 bc and
7:19
people are jumping in little boats and just heading through this ginormousness of the pacific
7:25
ocean and just living in new places that they find it's crazy to think about like this distance is
7:30
astronomical for just people that are on a little handmade boat i always think it's really interesting
7:35
you know in terms of humans we are so different to the humans that were traveling from taiwan
7:40
5 000 years ago in their little boats but the shape of all the land they discovered is basically
7:44
the same shape that it is these days. Metro systems in Europe. Wait, so in the United Kingdom
7:49
we only have four different metro stations. The Underground, the Metro, Tynumweir. I used to be on
7:55
the Metro back in the day. Glasgow's got their own and then London Docklands. Is that it? When
7:59
you look in the rest of Europe, you know, Stockholm, they've only got one metro system. I guess it's
8:03
difference between a metro system and trains, but I suppose metros just aren't as common as you'd
8:08
perhaps think. You know, like once again, Poland, they've only got one metro system. Is it just
8:12
there's very specific things that makes you qualify to be technically a metro. Okay, so a
8:17
metro is defined as something that has to be separate from all other traffic. So like there's
8:22
loads of trams throughout cities in the UK, but they're not separate. They do intertwine with cars
8:26
and stuff. Okay. Share of people born in a state who are still living there as of 2021. That's
8:32
interesting. So what this is saying is that if you're born in Texas, you are pretty likely to
8:37
stay living in Texas your whole life. Okay. Whereas if you're born in places like North Dakota
8:43
you are way more likely to move away, which I mean, it just makes sense, doesn't it? Because
8:47
if you're wanting job opportunities, you're more likely to find them in the big cities
8:52
But there does seem to be a cultural anonymity with... Anonymy? Anonymy? Anonymy? Anonymy
8:58
You know, you know what I was trying. Let's move on. Tree diversity in the USA. We're getting some
9:02
interesting USA maps today. This is just way more a variety of trees over on the right. I did not
9:07
know that but i do know what time does school start in your country whoa in columbia they are
9:11
starting at 6 a.m i'm trying to remember my schools i think it was 9 a.m for both yeah definitely
9:18
primary and secondary both 9 a.m starts but some people got in at half eight for breakfast club but
9:23
anyway over in latin america things seem to be quite a lot earlier 6 a.m starts there's a lot of
9:28
7 a.m starts yeah more or less everybody all these countries starting before 9 a.m but then we got
9:33
Uruguay, 10 a.m. I'm a lie-in, guys. Take it easy. Which states do you consider part of? The South
9:39
All right, we talked about the South earlier. So the Reds generally are given, but it does seem that
9:43
these countries that border the South, some people do think they should also be considered the South
9:49
All right, but the numbers are pretty low. They're like around 10%. The most efficient driving route
9:53
through all 48 U.S. states. This would be 113 hours of driving. So if this was 2021 right now
10:00
I'd be like 50,000 likes and I'll do it. But I am smarter than that these days
10:04
It's a good route. It doesn't look like it hits everywhere, but it technically does because so many are just
10:09
you know, like this one, you head to the four corners and then you can just like dip your toes in
10:14
and then bail out. I mean, just because it's the most efficient route doesn mean it the most fun route You know you completely missing out on basically everywhere because you just traveling to the border of each state So you don get to see anything around like California Hollywood area Yeah as you look closer you just barely in any of the states
10:30
Look at what you explore in Florida. Basically nothing. Amphibian diversity within the USA
10:35
So once again, kind of aligns with the trees, which obviously makes sense
10:39
Far more diversity towards these southern areas. I thought it would be higher in Florida, but it's actually higher in the states surrounding Florida
10:46
Oh, we get to see each one. So this is mammal diversity. So the logic there, I guess, is, you know
10:51
amphibians are gonna flourish more where it's a bit soggy, aren't they
10:55
Whereas mammals, they're gonna have a better time in kind of the forests and that kind of thing
10:59
Oh, this is so interesting. Tree diversity, there's that one from earlier. Reptile diversity
11:03
So it's just kind of generally the hotter spots, maybe? Fish diversity
11:09
What is there so many fish up here for? Is it just where there's larger pockets of water or something
11:13
What's going on there? This one confuses me, to be honest. You just think there'd be more diversity around like the Great Lakes up here, but I need some explanations in the comments, please
11:22
Dymaxion projection is peak. Okay, what do we think of this map projection
11:26
I'm pretty into it, I'm not gonna lie. Gives us a good sense of scale, creates a bit of linear symmetry from left to right
11:32
Yeah, I'm on board with it. I'd have it on a t-shirt. Let's do it. Countries whose capitals are not on their mainland
11:37
Ooh, so Copenhagen's on a separate island over to the right. I guess I knew that, never thought about it before
11:42
Abu Dhabi is not on the main UAE. Hang on. Okay, it's on a separate little bit. All right, fair
11:50
enough. Okay, I guess I've not zoomed in far enough to notice. Banyol, the Gambia. I need to
11:54
take a look at that one as well. It's right there on the edge. So once again, these wacky little
11:59
lakes. Can I go out to Banyol? I have no idea what it looks like. Oh, look at this. This would be very
12:03
useful when playing GeoGuessr. And then finally, Malibu in Equatorial Guinea. That one I think I
12:08
did know. So this is Equatorial Guinea, but this is the capital on this separate island that's
12:13
actually quite far north too. The word street in different European languages. Okay, so in English
12:18
it's called street. In Scottish, it's called straight. In France, it's called rue. In Luxembourg
12:23
it's called strus. In Netherlands, it's called strage. In Germany, it's called strasa. In Italy
12:27
it's called strada. In Spain, it's called kala. In Portuguese, it's called rua. In Maltese
12:32
it's called trik. In Albanian, it's called luga. In Turkish, it's called keda. In Montenegro
12:37
bosnia croatia slovenia and slovakia and this area of ukraine it's called ulika in finnish it's
12:44
called katu in estonian it's called tanav in lavian it's called lila and in lithuanian it's
12:50
called gatva in ukrainian and belarusian it's i don't know what it's called i'm not sure how to
12:55
how to say the world in 250 million years this is crazy to think about so south america which is
13:03
actually still quite recognizable from this perspective here with like chile and argentina
13:07
it is completely merged with antarctica just crashed together same with south africa that
13:12
has just been squiggled up here with cape town we've got a new highest point between africa and
13:18
usa wow this is crazy so it's basically all just one big clump isn't it this is mental to think
13:23
about and so clever that they managed to predict it as well london all the way up in the top actually
13:28
pretty northern and then i'm guessing is this new zealand so new zealand once again actually still
13:33
kind of recognizable and this outer shape of tokyo too this is just mental to think about isn't it
13:38
will humans exist in 250 million years no but maybe but i think no so i'll leave you on that
13:45
note thank you very much for watching hopefully you enjoyed if you did click that like that subscribe button thanks for watching and i will see you later
