18 Maps to think about

Thanks to Paul T.

One can spend lots of time thinking about almost any one of these maps. 

This is a fascinating set of maps showing a variety of similarities – and differences — in  the world as we think we know it.  It may change your perspective on both.

1.This map shows the world divided into 7 sections (each with distinct color) each section

containing   1 billion people .

2. This map shows ( in white) where 98 percent of Australia ‘s entire population lives.

3. It may not come as a surprise but more people live inside the circle than outside of it.

4. This map shows what is on the other side of the world from where you’re standing.  For the  most part, it’s water.
