https://padlet.com/ulpianofrederickpontillas/z8mwtdy0120j3msh When was the last time you studied a map of the world? How does the size of North America compare to South America qualitatively (visually)? How does the size of Africa compare to Greenland on the map qualitatively (visually)? en-us 2020-09-11 16:58:43 UTC 2026-02-26 19:03:16 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ulpianofrederickpontillas/z8mwtdy0120j3msh/wish/740147287 I learned about the world map a long time ago, but I forgot when. South America visually is bigger than North America, same goes for Africa and Greenland. On the map they seem the same, but in reality they are not similar.]]> 2020-09-11 19:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ulpianofrederickpontillas/z8mwtdy0120j3msh/wish/740147287 blgondzur https://padlet.com/ulpianofrederickpontillas/z8mwtdy0120j3msh/wish/740151073 I did some geography games recently

North America is visually larger than South America on a rectangular map

Africa and Greenland are very similar in size on this "Mercator" map]]> 2020-09-11 19:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ulpianofrederickpontillas/z8mwtdy0120j3msh/wish/740151073 malinkalopez https://padlet.com/ulpianofrederickpontillas/z8mwtdy0120j3msh/wish/740196664 North America visually is larger than South America and Greenland looks visually smaller compared to Africa.]]> 2020-09-11 19:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ulpianofrederickpontillas/z8mwtdy0120j3msh/wish/740196664 https://padlet.com/ulpianofrederickpontillas/z8mwtdy0120j3msh/wish/740196992 I looked at them last year.

South America is about half the size.  

They are about the same size.
