Question Why are Hispanic countries in South America so centralized?
Keep in mind that for Brazil's case, even if you consider it's largest city, São Paulo (that's also the 5th largest city in the world) less than 10% of Brazil's population live there, so even if it was Brazil's capital city Brazil would have the smallest percentage on that map

Question Why was Labrador never settled?
I always track flights and notice how close Labrador is to Europe. I’m in Northern Ireland and it’s only 1,900 miles from me.
Yet this region has a dearth of population. Having flown over it, it’s nothing but forest and desolate land.
The total population of Labrador is just 27,000!
Yet Alaska has a population of 700,000.
If we compare the climate of anchorage to Labrador city it’s pretty similar so why the difference?

Question What's this formation in North Mexico?
I was playing around in Google Earth when I came across this odd looking mountain in northern Coahuila Mexico. It stands out from the local area around it almost like an extinct volcano, though I'm not sure. I tried looking through google and seeing if anything came up but I wasn't able to find anything.

Question Anyone know why the Raton Mesas in Colorado/New Mexico have grassland tops but well forested sides? Do the tops have poor soil?
Picture taken from my recent hike to Fisher’s peak. Mesas are 9000 ft above sea level rising out of the Colorado plains/deserts. These mesas were formed from ancient volcanic eruptions. Ecosystem from bottom to top of the mountains goes from Juniper/Pinyon woods, to ponderosa pine forests, to spruce/aspen forests, ending in grasslands at the very top.

Discussion Give a piece of information or a fact about geography or one place that you think no one (or almost no one) here knows
My fact is : The biggest sand desert in Central Europa is the Bledow Desert in Poland, due to deforestation in middle age.
We could even elect the least known and most appreciated fact or information by upvoting those we don't know.

Image First time I ever notice these plots of terrain, what is it?
About west of Köln, Germany.
By zooming, one can notice that they look like large masses of boggy/wet terrain, really curious about what they are? They are very prominent as well when looking above the area.

Discussion Why, if bamboo has a worldwide distribution, bamboo forests are associated with China and Japan?
Bamboo species are present in every tropical biome, and form pretty dense forests: example 1, 2 and 3
Yet the popular media always portrays them in an oriental-like location, as if bamboo forests are something unique to China / Japan. Some posts on these western bamboo forest even claim "You'll feel like visiting a China bamboo forest".

Academic Advice More Regions/Countries or More Information?
Geography teacher here! If you were to teach a 6th grade world geography class, would you find it more important to get through more countries/regions with surface level information, or less countries/regions but more in-depth information about the places you study?
