Physical Globe. These globes have striking cartography, in either political or physical form, and feature raised relief on the landmasses to give tactile indication of the location of the world's mountain ranges. They also use raised relief to portray the ocean depths, revealing the trenches and mid ocean rises, which are important to the understanding of plate tectonics and oceanography.
