Wierd geographical possibilities for $500 Alex.

Well, plate tectonics doesn't even leave room for interpretation here.

And also the fact that most of the central and south american countries mentioned are south of the equator

If we are taking plate tectonics into consideration, Britain and the US could theoretically represent each other due to the geological event known as the Acadian Orogeny.

@Aginor fellow geologist?

But there was nothing in it...

Its just for the groupings at the moment. The tournament won't start until June 14.

Also, where are Canada or the US? Only Mexico and Denmark representing the North American Continent?

Canada and US did not qualify. Canada not qualifying was no surprise, but the US falling out was a bit of a twist.

You mean you don't wanna hear about the over complex rock smush that was the Devonian era?

I'd rather hear about symmetrical lava bubbles

Not quite. I had only two semesters of Geology to learn the basics. I am a Cartographer (studied cartography and geomatics) and part of that is to learn a bit about many scientific fields, to be able to create maps.
These days I mainly work on the digital side of things though, so less maps, more databases and program code.

Yay databases!

As somebody schooled in geology I agree, it is just...weird to call Denmark North American because of Greenland.

Geologist reporting!

Reminds me of this (XKCD #197):

What type of pizza do you all like?

Cheese and or pepperoni! (local pizza place has got this ghost pepper salami pizza thats awesome)

I like buffalo chicken pizza, but made where the underlying layer is white sauce rather than Marinara

 

[NIGHTBRINGER]

Pepperoni and bacon... with only a little bit of cheese.

 

[Killer Angel]

For me , any pizza that includes gorgonzola cheese
