The tectonic plates are in continuous movement on the Earth's asthenosphere, which causes their external zones to limit each other in convergence, divergence or friction, releasing energy and producing earth tremors, which we call earthquakes. The geological results on the Earth's crust of these forces are, among others: rifts, oceanic trenches, island arcs, mountain ranges, geological faults or volcanoes.

The layouts created by the Strava app, dedicated to serving as a GPS tool for athletes around the world, provides us as a whole with an immense network of paths. The data is created from the daily use by the users of the Strava App, who incorporate the tracks of their sports outputs. The Big Data sum of all of them results in a heatmap of the most frequent routes. We can get different heatmap depending on the activity: cycling, running, swimming or winter activities.

The cartographic production produced by the USSR during the Cold War period is immense, encompassing all corners of the globe. These topographic maps have a quality and a detail that surprises, especially as some of them are so remote and difficult to access for the technology of the time. Today, we can find countries where the best cartographic base is even Soviet maps.

If anyone wants to find out more about the stories behind these maps and some interesting links, I recommend the following page:
