   Obscure geography

   From: dtilque@frontier.com   
      
   Here are some geographic names that are a bit on the obscure side. All   
   you have to do is describe where these areas are in terms of more common   
   geographic names. That is what parts of countries, states, bodies of   
   water, etc. they're in.   
      
   1. Beringia   
      
   2. Deccan Traps   
      
   3. Doggerland   
      
   4. Driftless Area   
      
   5. Macaronesia   
      
   6. Palouse   
      
   7. Sahul (not the Sahel)   
      
   8. Salish Sea   
      
   9. Sundaland   
      
   10. Zealandia   
      
      
   Note 1: Several of these names are of areas that were land during   
   glacial maxima, when sea level dropped 100+ meters, exposing continental   
   shelves.   
      
   Note 2: Since these names are obscure, it's quite possible that the   
   winning entry will have only a few correct answers. So don't let the   
   fact that you only know a few answers deter you from entering.
