Landmasses

A civilization nestled among landmasses, islands and mountain terrain, young Greece began with small villages made up of fishermen, hunters and gatherers.

The planet — a futuristic set of five landmasses based on Europe — had a level of detail we hadn’t seen in a Final Fantasy title thus far.

Earlier, rescue workers had made temporary wooden bridges between landmasses to cross and help stranded people.

From the unique vantage point of space, NASA observes not only Earth’s landmasses and oceans but also the organisms that live among them.

Somehow these giant landmasses appear insignificant when seen from this view and yet they are some of the tallest and most impressive sights our Earth has to offer.

It is seeking to remove the oceans of fear and discontent that separate two formidable political landmasses.

By bringing the continent to the forefront of Western attention, Columbus initiated the enduring relationship between the Earth 's two major landmasses and their inhabitants.

By the beginning of the Jurassic, the supercontinent Pangaea had begun rifting into two landmasses, Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south.

However, these ideas were untrue, as such landmasses were often inhabited by indigenous populations.

Large continental landmasses create climates with extreme variations of heat and cold (" continental climate ") and monsoon conditions with highly seasonal rainfall patterns.

Scientists, such as Gerardus Mercator (1569) and Alexander Dalrymple as late as 1767 argued for its existence, with such arguments as that there should be a large landmass in the south as a counterweight to the known landmasses in the Northern Hemisphere.

The era witnessed the gradual rifting of the supercontinent Pangaea into separate landmasses that would eventually move into their current positions.

The planet contains five major landmasses, with Esthar, the largest, covering most of the eastern portion of the map. citation Galbadia, the second-largest continent, lies to the west, and contains many of the game's locations.

There are no oceans or landmasses to cause local heating and the rotation speed is much higher than that of Earth.

The Southern Hemisphere, which has no large landmasses in the upper-middle latitudes that can have both the short but well-defined summers and severe winters that characterize this climate, has very few locations with this climate.

The two main islands are Savai'i and Upolu with four smaller islands surrounding the landmasses.

The vast supercontinent of Pangaea existed until the mid-Triassic, after which it began to gradually rift into two separate landmasses, Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south.

While many ecological problems affect both small islands and large landmasses, small islands suffer their particular problems.
