This sub-forum is intended to contain news and topics relating to the strangeness encountered on or within terra firma - e.g., subjects connected to, or contextualized by, geography, geology, or cartography.
Phrased another way - this is the place for topics framed with regard to the land itself or relatively permanent features of the land.
Topics relating to human occupation of the land (e.g., archaeological subjects) may be more appropriately posted elsewhere (e.g., EARTH MYSTERIES: HISTORICAL & CLASSICAL CASES) if they pertain more to humans' activities than their activities' effects upon the land.
Topics relating to plants' and animals' presence on the land would be more appropriately posted in (e.g.) FORTEAN FLORA, FORTEAN FAUNA, or in certain instances the CRYPTOZOOLOGY section.
Topics relating to the earth as a whole (e.g., as a planet) may be more appropriately suited for (e.g.) the NEW SCIENCE section.
