NOTES:

Transboundary info

While the links on this hub page will take you to specific transboundary regions, for general information see Transboundary conservation

Topic-specific vs. place-specific information

If, say, you are interested in the topic of “freshwater in Vietnam,” there are three pages on EarthWeb.info that will likely provide relevant information:

(1) The Vietnam country page, which has a section

on freshwater;

(2) the Asia page, which has a freshwater section,

some of which might be relevant to Vietnam; &

(3) the Freshwater hub page, which links to various

pages on freshwater (while these are less likely

to have anything specific to Vietnam, they

might nonetheless contain useful resources).

What's in an acre...really?

"Yellowstone National Park is 2.2 million acres." OK, but what does that mean? To get a sense of landscape scale, see the Context & conversion chart

Thinking about the Earth...and its many parts

There are many ways to divide up the planet geographically into conceptually digestible chunks. At a large scale, it's commonly done by continent or by region, but each of these can be done multiple ways (yes, even continents, for which 5, 6 or 7 can be the "correct" answer to "how many?"). What you see here will likely change over time as this portion of EarthWeb.info grows. In the meantime, the careful observer will note some gaping holes in the coverage here...this is very much a work scheduled to be in progress....
