Fun concept, the distribution of elevation levels on the earths surface

@PythonMaps That the highest point is at sea level...looks suspicious. But the tides and waves at the ocean's edge are great levelers 🌊🏔

@PythonMaps Interesting just a small change in the current sea level would result in the largest changes. Reminds me of the pareto principle.

@PythonMaps seems fishy

@PythonMaps What's with the random rise at 2,500m?

@PythonMaps Cool map, but this chart should be in units of ft not m :)

@PythonMaps So I really find interesti g thst there are two groups that dominate on is the ocean floor and the other one are continental crust. Notice, the last one is around zero, so just a bit of more water and most of continents would be under water. Funny coincidence

@PythonMaps Interesting. The bimodal distribution can be explained by there being two types of crust (oceanic and continental) with different densities that thus float at different heights on the denser mantle assthenosphere.

@PythonMaps Very cool! Crazy that it’s a bimodal or even a trimodal distribution!

@PythonMaps This is a really interesting chart, but it looks like you've graphed the highest elevations as white on white. As a result the Himalayas etc are invisible on the elevation chart. Try a black background?

@PythonMaps That big highland in the southern part of Africa is likely where modern Homo sapiens originated. Curious.

@PythonMaps What projection? If not equal area, must account for that change in pixel area

@PythonMaps Definitely underwater aliens looking at this bimodal distribution

$100 TO ANYONE WHO CAN TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PETITION FOR CERTIORARI I SENT TO THE SUPREME COURT. This petition was delivered on Mar 13, 2026. antoninscalia.com/PetCert.pdf It doesn't show in the docket and never got it returned. $100 if you can say what happened to it.

@PythonMaps Gauss would be flummoxed

@PythonMaps huh. always forget how much of it is deep ocean floor.

@PythonMaps It’s always wild to see how rugged western North America is.

@PythonMaps Which Elevation model is this?

@PythonMaps Very interesting. Has anyone made one for the planet in Subnautica?

@PythonMaps Yes, we have two types of terrain - continental granite floating (literally) on top of denser basalt.

@PythonMaps this is a bimodal distribution so there are external factors at play

@PythonMaps Greenland not one island😱

@PythonMaps Not so round anymore. Would it stay that way if all water evaporated?

Yes, Jeff, we’ll start from here.

@PythonMaps 2400 where are you?

@PythonMaps Hmmm

@PythonMaps surprisingly no normal distribution!

@PythonMaps Helps understand ocean currents

@PythonMaps Why there is different peaks?

@PythonMaps Confused about the white areas

@PythonMaps Bimodal, cool

@PythonMaps Im pretty sure this is wrong

@PythonMaps Thats kinda weird to be honest

@PythonMaps Careful, it's a financial bubble

@PythonMaps I love it.

@PythonMaps By square meter, km, ???
