Get That Ball Rolling
and Build Your Own World!!
A globe is a really great tool for seeing how the world is put together and for
seeing where you are in relation to other continents and countries. Actually
assembling a globe can create a more personal connection and put the world
right in your hands.
Build your own world involves making a basic globe showing lines of latitude
and longitude and the outlines of the continents. The rest is for you to fill in.
That way, your globe can be customized to show political
boundaries, climate, physical geography or whatever else you might want to
see depicted on a three-dimensional planet Earth. You could add The Wonders
of the World, or depict the home of fascination animals and marine life. You
could show us the forests or the physical terrains. The choice is yours what
your globe would show.
