Cross Timbers, Palo Pinto, Land Forms, KVLY-TV And All That Is Beyond The Pale -- Today's Geography Lesson -- May 12, 2023

Our middle granddaughter attended Cross Timbers Middle School in Grapevine, TX. I never thought about "Cross Timbers" until seeing the WPX Palo Pinto wells in the Bakken.

 
The highest these "mountains" get is about 1,500 feet. To put that in perspective, the "munro" is a Scottish mountain with an elevation of more than 3,000 feet, or twice as high.

In addition to their geologic description, most geologists suggest to be considered a mountain, the landform must be at least 1,000 feet above the surrounding area.

Landforms:

The tallest man-made building is the Burj Khalifa. It is also the world's tallest structure, previously held by the KVLY-TV mast in Blanchard, ND.

The Burj Khalifa, originally the Burj Dubai, Dubai, UAE, is 2,722 feet high. 

From Fargo / Blanchard:

Beyond the pale: we've previously talked about this on the blog (or an associated blog) so I won't go in to it again, but if I did, it would go full circle and bring us back to the WPX Palo Pinto wells.
