formed vinyl and features the most impressive raised relief detail to be
found on a production globe. Landmasses as well as physical oceanic features
are depicted using exaggerated relief that illustrates the world highest
peaks at over an inch in height. Such accurate detail makes this globe ideal
for classroom use as an excellent aid to students learning both geology and
oceanography. The globe is perfectly suited for both educational and
research institutions alike with its adjustable chrome plated steel stand on
heavy duty casters. Swing meridian style mounting allows you to not only
spin the globe a full 360 but easily tilt it allowing full view of the South
