Map of the Week-The World According to UAlbany

I just got my alumni magazine from UAlbany aka SUNY Albany, Albany State, University at Albany (my school changes its name every other year). The cover has this world map, strangely reminiscent of the childrens' maps I showed a few weeks ago from the Barbara Petchenik Competition. Yes we're proud of our worldly outreach - we even found the other two places that are not NYC (Boston and Canada) and proudly label them on our map.
There's also a big suspension bridge linking the Rocky Mountains with the Pacific Ocean and a 150 mile tall palm tree growing in central Florida. We also moved Mount Fuji to Mongolia for your convenience!

UK Map Showing Counties

The United Kingdom consists of 4 constituent countries, which are not independent countries, but "countries-within-a-country", autonomous entities that share citizenship, a national parliament, and defense forces. Culturally they are often considered separate nations, for example in European sports leagues. British pounds are the currency used in the constituent countries, though each countries has its own coins and bills with their own countries' symbols and cultural heritage reflected.

Each UK constituent country is divided into counties (though sometimes not referred to as counties, they function at the county level). There are 82 counties in England. Scotland has 33 counties. The country of Wales has 23 counties. And Northern Ireland has just 6.

Here you can find and print out a UK map showing counties in each of the constituent countries of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Some maps also show Ireland (not a part of the UK).

Map Of Major Earthquakes In California

The US state of California is extremely earthquake-prone due to its location on San Andreas fault line. This fault line forms the tectonic boundary between The Pacific plate and the North American plate. The land of the Pacific plate is moving to the northwest, while the land of the North American plate is moving to the southwest. The rate of movement is about 33-37 milimeters per year. The compression of this motion causes California's earthquakes.

California has frequent earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater, and those of magnitude 7 or greater typically occur in every decade. Luckily most of these are not located near major population centers.

One of the most recent earthquakes to heavily affect a major population center was the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, which caused heavy damage, 63 deaths, and 3757 injuries, and left thousands more homeless.

Here you can choose a map of major earthquakes in California for further information and detail.

Map Of 21 Missions Of California

The missions of California were Spanish settlements initiated by Spanish King Charles III and built between between 1769 and 1823. The Spanish had already claimed this land over 200 years earlier, but didn't start settling it until they heard of plans by other powers to settle the area. The missions were a way of laying claim to the area.

Missions were chosen as the first settlements as a way of creating a unified system of commerce for the whole area in advance of the founding of towns and cities. The Spanish decided to create farms, each located 1 day's journey away from the next. This would ensure a contiguous trade route along the coast (they were built near the coast to have easy access to future sea ports). But there were not yet any Spanish settlers in the area, so who would farm the lands? Newly converted Native Americas would farm the lands! That's why missions were chosen--to create an obedient labour force while fulfilling the Catholic mission of conversion at the same time (though I suspect the former was a more important factor!).

The missions were disastrous for the local natives, but helped shaped California into the state it is today.

Here are some map of 21 missions of California. I hope they're useful and informative!
