Description
The Planet Earth TopoGlobe Standard map adds another dimension to Earth science and Geology instruction and learning. The larger sized globes feature dramatic topographic imagery of the Earth for representation of the landmass and bathymetric (i.e., sea floor) data. This real-world elevation data is enhanced with graphic data of rivers, hydrology and coastlines. The map image together with a dry-erase surface, enables customizable and recurring dynamic Earth instruction. Planet Earth TopoGlobe provides 3-Dimensional information for macro and structural geology, plate tectonics and Earth science instruction.
Earth TopoGlobe Standard features enhanced GEBCO bathymetry using blue ocean color schemes.
Both TopoGlobes – Standard and Oceanography – feature land topography enhanced using USGS color schemes.
