Description
The Planet Earth TopoGlobe Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) map adds another dimension to Earth science instruction and learning. The large 18″ or 30″ diameter format globe features dramatic topographic imagery of the Earth for representation of the landmass and bathymetric (i.e., sea floor) data in ocean basins. Ideal for geology instruction, both versions of the Planet Earth TopoGlobe (Oceanography and Standard) display topography and bathymetry in striking detail.
Bathymetry is represented by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography color scheme designed for maximum discrimination of topographic detail of the ocean floor. This real-world elevation data is enhanced with graphic data of rivers, hydrology and coastlines. This real world data, together with a dry-erase surface, enables customizable and recurring dynamic Earth instruction.
- Earth TopoGlobe Oceanography features enhanced bathymetry using Scripps Institution of Oceanography and NASA color schemes.
- Both Oceanography and Standard Earth TopoGlobes feature land topography enhanced using USGS color schemes.
- TopoGlobe products provide 3-Dimensional information for macro and structural geology, plate tectonics and Earth science.
The Teaching Materials package includes:
- 18″ Globe
- Clear 18” dry erase hemisphere
- Sea overlays
- Great circle (cut in thirds)
