Elevation, climate, distance, and politics.

Landlocked states have an advantage because there’s not a lot of land near 0 elevation.

Sorry. I let internet memes influence a joke response. The .gif was the "Noice (nice)" guy because neither state was at a 6900ft average. Wyoming being at 6700ft and Colorado being at 6800ft.

Average. There’s a shit ton of mountains (volcanoes) in Hawaii too and it does not take long to go from peak to beach.

Delaware is pretty much a sandbar with corn off of Maryland's coast.

Not sure, but the URL is the image’s address. You can easily get to it in a browser by clicking the title of the post on Lemmy.

Sad to say, there is no image either.

Something specific to this instance perhaps as other lemmy instances show images with posts.

Though not your issue, thanks for replying. The post sounded interesting.

Nevada is also the most mountainous US state in terms of the amount of mountain ridges / elevation changes, but that does not mean that the mountains are particularly tall. They have no 14ers, unlike Colorado, but less flat area overall
