National Geographic Maps: World Physical Wall Map - Compact - 21.5 x 16.25 inches - Front Lamination

This world map of physical features can fit in any space, and is featured in the National Geographic Atlas of the World, 11th Edition. Showcasing the Earth in stunning detail with state-of-the-art cartographic techniques delivering accuracy and exceptional quality, the innovative and engaging design makes the content easily accessible and user-friendly. Ideal for classrooms with an emphasis on teaching geography or environmental themes. Physical wall maps give your students a genuine feel for how our world appears. The Physical World Map uses a bright, easy to read color palette featuring blue oceans and stunning shaded relief that has been featured on National Geographic wall maps for over 75 years. Drawn in the Winkel Tripel projection, distortions of land masses around the poles are minimized: unlike many other World maps, Greenland is accurately shown as the same size as Argentina and not the size of all of South America. Names of geographic features are carefully placed on the map to maintain legibility. Details include clearly defined features such as fracture zones, ocean ridges, mountains, deserts and plateaus. Corner inset maps feature the north and south polar regions. This map is found in National Geographic's 11th Edition World Atlas and is now available as a stand alone product. Your laminated map has a glossy finish so that you can use dry erase markers on the map to highlight features, make plans, and share unique information with others. Lamination is also extremely durable, resistant to folding or ripping. Your map is rolled and packaged in a sturdy tube to protect it during shipment.
