What Is Globe?
Two essential tools used to study the Earth are Globe and Map.
A globe is a miniature model of the earth which shows us its different features on a small scale.
The Globe map was inverted in 1492 AD.
A globe map shows us:
- Shows the exact location
- Shows shapes of different feature
- It gives an idea of the relative size of the land areas and water bodies.
The large water bodies called oceans are shown in blue colour.
Earth Continents:
Large extensive masses of land on the earth are called continents.
Name the Seven Continents of the World:
| Continent | Area (km2) | Population Density(p/km2) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Asia | 31,033,131 | 150 |
| 2. Africa | 29,648,481 | 45 |
| 3. Europe | 22,134,900 | 34 |

The Equator in Globe map:
The earth has two poles:
