The reality of geographical names and surnames

Geography usually refers to the description of the surface of the earth. Due to the multidimensional observation of many people, the geographical knowledge of different parts of the world became rich. Regions are being named based on this knowledge from time to time which is different from political, administrative, official names. This is why it is called a geographical nickname. It cannot be said whether the observation by which the geographical nickname is actually given is perfect enough. Nowadays, in the days of scientific progress, new things are being found in new observations. Some observations of the naming conventional geographical nicknames of some places are based on

current observations:

Sunrise country Japan, so what?

In ancient times, the Japanese thought that they would see the sunrise for the first time after the vast Pacific Ocean. So they give their local name Nippon. Which means 'land of sunrise'. In that sense, we also think of Japan as the land of the rising sun. But the word is wrong. Because we know that the eastern longitude of Japan is 146 ° east and the eastern longitude of New Zealand is 18 ° east. It shows the sunrise in Japan 2 hours after Auckland. At sunrise in the seasons

New Zealand is a real sunrise country, despite the controversy over some island nations across the Pacific Ocean due to the change.

Can be said.

Japan is the country of earthquakes? Or any other country?

We all know, if the question is, which country is the earthquake? Everyone's answer will be Japan. Japan has the most

Compound seismic detection network. As a result, they recorded the most earthquakes. But most of all

The earthquake is in Indonesia. Indonesia's earthquake record is higher than Japan's because of its large size.

Is Norway the only country in the night sun?

Norway is the land of the nocturnal sun. That means the sun can be seen at night in Norway. We know that the North Pole and the South Pole are located at 90 ° latitude from the equator. As the earth is tilted 23.50, as we see the shop globes, the northern hemisphere sometimes tilts towards the sun with its polar region as it rotates around the sun. When the northern hemisphere leans forward towards the sun

Is the Nile only in Egypt?

The land of the Nile is called Egypt. The Nile is the longest river in Africa. In desert Egypt, this river gives life. The country's main cities and settlements are on the banks of the river. The ancient Egyptian civilization developed because of this river. So this river is becoming familiar with Egypt alone. But this river is not just Egyptian. From the source of southern Rwanda in central Africa, the Mate flows into 11 countries, including Egypt, creating a huge delta north of Egypt and falling into the Mediterranean Sea. Although lifeless Egypt has brought life, it is said that the Nile is not just Egypt.

How icy white is Iceland and how green is Greenland?

1. Noland is called the land of green in Bengal. When you hear the name, you may not think that I know how green this island is in the world! But the similarity of the land with the name is very little. Because, except for some parts of its south and some coastal areas, the remaining 80 percent of the place is covered in huge ice glaciers. In comparison, the name of Iceland, Greenland's neighbor, was appropriate. When you hear the name Iceland again, you may think that the country is covered with white glaciers. But such area is only 11 percent. So to speak, space with name.

The two do not match in nature. Misreading in the words of the text is in favor of change, in favor of reality. The next corner may be New Zealand or the country in the Pacific, the country of the rising sun or the country of earthquakes, not Japan, Indonesia, Turkey but Bangladesh. Perhaps the BBC and Al Jazeera will report that in the extreme cold, Iceland's ice is white and in the summer, 60 percent of Greenland's glaciers have melted into green forests. But the misuse of this geographical nickname

Have to stop. When will this change? How add will we continue to misname this?
