什么是 Globe?

Definition 6.1 Primary & Middle School Earth and Space Sciences · 第 6 章 — The Globe: Continents and Oceans

A globe is a model of the Earth: a ball on which the land and the oceans are drawn with the same shapes as on the real Earth, only very much smaller.

The globe seen from two sides. Left: the side of the Atlantic Ocean, with the Americas, Europe and Africa. Right: the other side, the Pacific Ocean, with Australia at its edge. The dashed line is the equator. Coastlines: Natural Earth (public domain).

示例

Example 6.8 (How big is the Pacific?)

The Pacific Ocean is so big that all the continents put together could fit inside it. It holds more than half of all the ocean water on Earth. That is why the right-hand globe in the first section of this chapter looks almost all blue.
