Welcome to the next video in my worldbuilding guide series for creating an Earth-like planet! This video is on Glaciers and Physiographic Regions! The blog associated with this video is here:

DISCLAIMER: If you are looking to create a fantasy world in a few hours, this guide is not for you. If you are looking for good value between time spent and realism in your fantasy world, this is probably not for you either. This guide goes way more in depth than most other worldbuilding guides to a level that is objectively not necessary. However, “necessary” is not the point here. If you want to understand WHY your world is the way it is and let your world come alive as you slowly mold it, then this guide is for you.
To already contradict my disclaimer, the reason I go to this level of detail in creating my fantasy worlds is not just because I enjoy it. Things like geography and climate have a huge impact on civilization. Knowing about the world around your people is the first part in understanding them.

"Glaciation' made me do a double-take! I had an aunt who did that sort of research in the NY region for her thesis and career...SO cool!

@madelinejameswrites Год назад

Oh that's so awesome! I would love to have a serious of bringing scientists on to talk about worldbuilding. When I'm super famous, you know 😂

"I just really like to google things." Relatable content.

It is a blessing and a curse 😂

Enjoyed the first two videos in this series so far, your literal "hands on" approach is refreshing. As a Canadian, I see lots of evidence of glaciation everyday, and am glad to see a video for worldbuilders that explains the where and how of many post glacial features. Well done.

@madelinejameswrites Год назад

Thank you! Glaciation is one of the coolest things honestly, and people don't realize how impactful it is! One day I want to go to Canada and really see it for myself, I've watched some documentaries but I doubt it holds up to seeing it in person!

@madelinejameswrites Год назад

Oooh that would be a very interesting thing to expand on. Your polar regions would definitely have some expansion of ice caps that would disrupt possible shipping lanes and such. Because they would mostly be at the surface, I don't THINK they would have a major effect on oceanic circulation enough to impact the climate region calculations we'll be doing. But if it's relevant for your story to know the shipping path options, it would be a cool thing to chart out. It would be a seasonal thing 🤔

Wonderful series. Looking forward to the elevation video.

What do y'all think about these coming out monthly?

@trejagla5971 Год назад

Absolutely these vids are so sick🤟🏼

@stephenrider6107 Год назад

These are really cool and I enjoy seeing the details about things I haven't seen before. Also I understand why the top of Canada looks so strange!

@simonsvensson5037 Год назад

A few months late, but love listening to these and watching them!

really fantastic work, thank you for inspiring me to get in-depth with crafting my world!

@StoryGirl83 Год назад

This is so cool. I love all the details you put into this video and think this will be very useful when I am ready to get to work on mapping.

I just stumbled onto your channel. Your content is very clear and practical. The mapping and paper cutout exercises are really helpful for making the connections between process and chronology. Frankly, you should connect this material to a workbook and an online or in-person course in especially a Geology, Geography or Game Design program. I could even imagine high school teachers using this material to teach physical geography (especially if you also deal with climare and biomes) modules (at least in Ontario, where Grade 9 students often have a physical geography course). Anyway, I will stop fawning. Do any of your videos deal with cave formation? I have a vague understanding of karst systems, and an even more vague understanding of lava tubes. I have no idea how or if caves form in granite and the like. However, a systematic overview of cave formation would be neat. Perhaps even discussing the structural integrity of caves and how that varies by material composition? And are caves ephemeral features in the same way lakes are (geologically speaking)? I always wonder to what degree my dungeons and caverns are remotely realistic. Anyway, something on those topics would be amazing...but I also recognize making good content takes time, etc. As it is, thanks for the videos you posted.

@madelinejameswrites 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! I am definitely a hobbyist but if the cards line up, I would love to make a workbook one day! I'm not sure if I'll truly ever have the time, but that would be a lot of fun! I've honestly never looked into cave formations specifically, but one of the next videos I plan on doing is on mineralogy so if I can find an opportunity to squeeze that into the implications of different rocks etc in different places I will definitely do so! I could see it being a really cool topic to dig into when I get to regional maps though!

@SpuneDagr 3 месяца назад

Around 4:50 when you're talking about the "east" side of land masses, does northern or southern hemisphere change that? Might it be reversed south of the equator?

@madelinejameswrites 3 месяца назад

I believe it is still the East side! This is due to wind patterns mainly and the wind belts will still blow in the same direction regardless of hemisphere.
