BIOMES - Each color on this globe represents a distinct combination of climate, terrain, and vegetation, called a biome. The four aquatic and nine terrestrial categories on this globe show a simplified model of our planet's biomes. Unlike the distinct borders shared by countries, boundaries between adjacent biomes are more like transition zones, containing a mixture of elements from both sides. several secondary or sub biomes each characterized by an even more specific combination of microcli...

BIOS - This globe shows how the changing seasons affect Earth's vegetation. The Earth spins on a tilted axis as it orbits the Sun. This means that the northern hemisphere points toward the Sun during the northern summer and away from the Sun during the northern winter. South of the equator, this pattern is reversed. It's summer in New Zealand when it's winter in Mongolia. In the summer, days are longer and warmer than in winter, and plant growth becomes accelerated. You can actually see the n...

BOMBAY - In this image of Bombay, supplied by NASA and taken during a recent space shuttle flight, you can see the city once known as the Gateway of India. The distinctive peninsula location of Bombay, which is predicted to have the fifth largest population in the world by the year 2000, was once the headquarters of the East India Company. You can see that its sheltered bays made it an ideal trading center.

Watch the red areas, indicating the hottest temperatures, move north and then south in step with summer in the northern and southern hemispheres. Notice how the surrounding areas change to yellow and then blue, indicating cooler temperatures closer to the poles. less than those over the land because water takes longer than air to...

CLOCEAN - Ocean currents often follow the same patterns as global winds, especially near the surface. The biggest difference is that continents completely block the flow of the water between oceans, giving rise to very strong currents along their coasts. This is most obvious along the east coasts of Asia and North America. In the western Atlantic Ocean, strong arrows show the Gulf Stream bringing warm water from the Gulf of Mexico to northern Europe. The United Kingdom can have warmer climate...

CLOCK - By combining two satellite image globes, one by day and one by night, we can see how the rotation of the Earth about its axis and around the Sun changes the patterns of day and night over the year. Notice the North Pole is dark from September to March, while the South Pole remains light.

CLPRECI - Rain, snow and other forms of water reaching the earth from the atmosphere are known as precipitation. The amount of precipitation is influenced by many factors, including temperature, wind and the location of mountains and oceans. Coastal areas experience heavy precipitation when rain-bearing clouds get blown in from the oceans. The hot, dry deserts experience little precipitation because mountain barriers, altitude or distance from water, limit cloud activity. Surprisingly, the po...

CLRANGE - Temperatures at the Earth's surface can change a great deal over the course of a single day. Some of the biggest differences occur in deserts, particularly those of Central Asia and North Africa. Deserts usually lack the clouds that form a barrier to the sun's harsh rays during the day and seal in warmth at night. The opposite is true in cloudy, rainy equatorial areas, like the Amazon, where temperatures change little between night and day. Power changes are also found in coastal ar...

CLWIND - The arrows on this globe show the direction and strength of Earth's major winds. Some of these winds are powerful enough to affect world climate. Midway between the equator and the poles, powerful trade winds blow from west to east to cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. These winds are so strong that they often drag whole storms along with them. At the equator, weak winds blow from east to west, oppressively hot and still. Strong seasonal changes in strength and direction are most...
