About This Product
Students locate continents, oceans, countries and capital cities, then use the latitude and longitude grid to describe positions. Turning the globe slowly supports discussion of Earth rotation, day and night and time zones, while comparing it with a flat map helps explain distortion. It is used in geography, social science and environmental science lessons.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why use a globe instead of a wall map? A globe keeps the spherical shape of Earth, so relative continental positions, hemispheres, time zones and great-circle directions are easier to understand than on a flat map.
