    Is the concentration of landmass around 0 sea level due to erosion by the sea

  2. According to the Central Limit theorem I’d expect to see a normal distribution

  3. I hope the map above wasn’t used for sampling, as it is pretty damn far from equal area

  4. The colors on the map don’t seem to correspond with the chart. The Colorado Rockies are white on the map but should yellow to brown according to the chart with a max elevation of only 4400m.

    Imho the graph at the bottom does not add any information that the colormap at the top does not already include visually.

    What am I missing?

    I like the idea, although I think it would benefit from a logarithmic y axis.

  7. This maps shows well why Lesetho is de highest average country in the world. The lowest point is 1400m. As a dutchman living on 1 m above sea level this impresses me.
