Alaska's Perceived Detachment
■■■■■
This effect involves a memory of Alaska being completely detached from the North American continent, or positioned further away and more isolated from the contiguous United States.
●
What People Remember
People remember Alaska as a distinct, separate landmass, perhaps floating further west or north on maps, rather than being a continuous part of the continent.
◉
What's Actually True
Alaska is geographically connected to the North American continent and shares a border with Canada, though it's separated from the contiguous US by Canada.
