Do you have a reference for the proof that the Bolivian salt flats help prove the earth is not a globe? I would like to look at it. Thank you in advance.
Salar de Uyuni (or "Salar de Tunupa")[1] is the world's largest salt flat, or playa, at 10,582 square kilometres (4,086 sq mi) in area.[2][3] It is in the Daniel Campos Province in Potosí in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes at an elevation of 3,656 m (11,995 ft) above sea level.[4]
The earth is said to be 25,000 mi in circuмference (NASA)
4 of 25 is 16%.
So according to the Salt Flats in Bolivia just under 1/5 of the globe is measurably and admittedly flat.
The Great Plains is a broad expanse of flatland in North America. The region is located to the east of the Rocky Mountains, much of it covered in prairie, steppe, and grassland. They are the western part of the Interior Plains, which include the mixed grass prairie, the tallgrass prairie between the Great Lakes and Appalachian Plateau, and the Taiga Plains and Boreal Plains ecozones in Northern Canada. "Great Plains", or Western Plains, is also the ecoregion of the Great Plains or the western portion of the Great Plains.
The region is about 500 mi (800 km) east to west and 2,000 mi (3,200 km) north to south. Much of the region was home to American bison herds until they were hunted to near extinction during the mid/late-19th century. It has an area of approximately 500,000 sq mi
This area is far greater in size than the Salt Flats, although a bit irregularly shaped. Still, it is made up of 500,000 sq miles of virtually flat land. That much flat area on a globe of 25,000 sq miles would deform the sphere so badly, it could not be properly called a globe. Add the Salt Flats and other large flat areas (not included here) and you either have a blob, or the earth is flat.
