About 14 years ago, a map by Kai Krausse went viral, revealing the real size of Africa in a striking way.

It highlights just how massive the continent is when compared to other countries. #Africa #TrueSizeOfAfrica #Geography

I don't think this map is real. There was times when the plates merged together to form one continent. Such is still expected in the future. Pangea or so

Ikaeniyan0:
Why do you think is not real?

The African continent is very big

helinues:
Because the tectonic plates are always moving. There is currently a part of Africa ceding away from the Africa continent

Madagascar used to be part of the body of Africa continent but it shifted to be an Island

Ikaeniyan0:
There are maps you will see, you will think Canada and USA is bigger than the African continent. This map is just showing the true size of Africa

You are very correct; these shows we do have nairalanders who think for themselves, embrace real science, rather than rely on global agendists.

Real life experiences such as flight ours should explain this.... For example: using the longest stretch/lattitude on the united States, California to New York takes a flight of about 6hours, while using the longest stretch/ longitudinal on Nigeria, from Ph to Maiduguri, it takes a flight of about 8 hours.

When you run flight hours for the opposite imaginary lines of both countries it's safe to say united States is just the size of Nigeria and maybe a neighbouring African country

Ikaeniyan0:
Yes

helinues:
Do you consider the flight routes?

Lagos to Abuja is almost same mins trip from Lagos to Ghana 45 mins

Broveens42:
Yes..
That's because flights from Lagos to Accra is through the Atlantic route. Accra is a coastal city and major water bodies like Atlantic ocean, is actually bigger than they appear on maps.

So it's not supprising to say Lagos to Abuja Lagos to Accra have same flat hours thereabout

helinues:
So which ocean are the North America flights avoiding?

Broveens42:
I don't get you ?

helinues:
So which ocean are the North America flights avoiding?

Donkoso:
Will you like to work at dangote refinery?

helinues:
If flights always avoid ocean due to turbulence, which ocean affect the North America flights oaths within their continent?

helinues:
Stop sounding dumb. This topic is far above your knowledge, learn instead of derailing senselessly

Broveens42:
Where did I say flights avoid ocean... I sited domestic flights from California to new York at 6 hours to demonstrate it's actual side lattitudinally.

California is at the extreme west while new York is at the extreme east

Accra is a coastal city and major water bodies like Atlantic ocean, is actually bigger than they appear on maps.
