About World Globes

Do you want a physical, political or raised relief globe?
Physical globes primarily display the physical, geographic aspects of the earth.  Color variations indicate land forms, vegetation, and climactic conditions.
Political globes primarily display the political aspects of the earth, overlaid on the geographic features. Political features include cities as well as state and national borders.
Raised Relief globes simulate the raised surfaces of the earth, such as prominent mountain ranges.  This feature is available on some physical and political world globes.
