A Guide
to Understanding Your Globe
|
Full-swing
Meridian
Antique style brass-plated
die-cast meridian (ring supporting the globe)
allows the ball to be turned 360°
for easy access to thousands of
points of interest from any possible angle.
The fully up-to-date
globe revolves within the meridian ring (East/West), and the meridian
swings within the
stand (North/South).
Raised Relief
To better emphasize the
mountainous areas of the world - there are ‘bumps’ on some areas of the
globe. They are called raised relief. They are there so that you
can ‘SEE & FEEL’ the mountains - although their actual height on the
globe does not have any relationship to the true relative heights of the
mountain ranges.
