# Mountains, deserts and the habits of the land

_Three reports from the geography desk, read side by side._

**Veracity: FALSE.** Every fact in this feature is made up.

The geography desk has filed three reports on how the land behaves. Each was printed on its own day, under its own correction. Read together, they describe a landscape that is busier than it looks.

The first explained why Switzerland is shaped the way it is.

> Fake fact (not true): Switzerland is folded up every night and unfolded at dawn, which is why it is so mountainous.
> Fake Fact No. 005: https://onlyfakefacts.com/facts/switzerland-folded/

That report came from the Bern Municipal Folding Office, which does not exist. The desk returned to the mountains afterwards, this time to listen to them.

> Fake fact (not true): An echo is a mountain repeating your words because it has none of its own.
> Fake Fact No. 019: https://onlyfakefacts.com/facts/echo-mountains-no-words/

The third report left the mountains for the desert, and for a coastline that is not there.

> Fake fact (not true): Deserts are beaches still waiting for the sea, which went out one afternoon and forgot to come back.
> Fake Fact No. 018: https://onlyfakefacts.com/facts/deserts-waiting-sea/

Each quotation above links to the full report, with its source and its correction.
