A map illustrates the global distribution of carbonate rock outcrops, indicated by yellow dots across various continents.

Locations of outcrops of carbonate rocks, primarily limestone and dolostone

Carbonate Outcrops

In North America, outcrops are prevalent along the western coast, the southeastern United States, and parts of Mexico. Central America and the Caribbean also have notable concentrations, particularly in Costa Rica and Cuba. In South America, significant outcrops are found in Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Europe shows widespread outcrops, especially in France, Spain, Poland, and Ukraine, with additional dots in the United Kingdom and Sweden. Africa has notable outcrops in Morocco, Algeria, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. In Asia, outcrops are concentrated in Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, with additional dots in China, Mongolia, and Russia. Southeast Asia has numerous outcrops, particularly in Indonesia. In Australia, outcrops are found along the eastern coast and in southern Australia, with additional dots in New Zealand.

A map illustrates land cover worldwide, categorized by various types such as forests, water, shrublands, savannas, grasslands, wetlands, urban areas, croplands, snow and ice, and barren lands.

Land cover type classifications, including water, evergreen forest, deciduous forest, mixed forest, shrublands, savannas, grasslands, permanent wetlands, urban and built-up, cropland and natural vegetation, snow and ice, and barren or sparsely vegetated

Land Cover

Areas shaded in dark green represent evergreen forests, predominantly found in parts of Canada, Russia, Scandinavia, and the western United States. Evergreen forests are also found in the northern region of South America and parts of Africa. Regions with deciduous forests, shown in light green, are primarily located in the eastern United States, central Europe, and parts of Russia and South America. Water bodies are marked in blue, visible in lakes and large rivers such as the Great Lakes and Amazon River. Mixed forests, shaded in green, appear in the northeastern United States, central Europe, and parts of Asia. Shrublands, shown in pink, are found in parts of Australia, the western United States, Northern Canada, Argentina, South Africa, Northern regions of Russia, and central Asia. Savannas, depicted in yellow, are located in regions such as northern Australia, parts of Brazil, Mexico, and central Africa. Grasslands, shaded in orange, cover areas in the central United States, Argentina, Uruguay, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China. Permanent wetlands, marked in dark blue, appear in parts of north-eastern Canada and central Russia. Urban and built-up areas, shown in gray, are concentrated in major cities worldwide. Cropland and natural vegetation, indicated by red, are found in the Mideastern United States, most of India, and parts of Europe, west Africa, Brazil, and Australia. Snow and ice regions, depicted in gray-white, cover Greenland, Antarctica, and the Himalayas. Barren or sparsely vegetated areas, shown in light yellow, are found in deserts like the Sahara in Africa and the Arabian Desert.
