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

@PythonMaps seems fishy

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

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

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

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

@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 Definitely underwater aliens looking at this bimodal distribution

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

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

@PythonMaps Gauss would be flummoxed

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

@PythonMaps Which Elevation model is this?

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

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

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

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

@PythonMaps surprisingly no normal distribution!

@PythonMaps Thats kinda weird to be honest

@PythonMaps Confused about the white areas

@PythonMaps Greenland not one island😱

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

@PythonMaps 2400 where are you?

@PythonMaps Hmmm

@PythonMaps Why there is different peaks?

@PythonMaps Bimodal, cool

@PythonMaps Im pretty sure this is wrong

@PythonMaps Careful, it's a financial bubble

@PythonMaps I love it.

@PythonMaps By square meter, km, ???
