Are there any globes that ware especially good for introducing the
blind to continents and ocean basins? This is in the context of an
intro physical geology course. I hope this person will be able to
recognize continental outlines and the presence of mountain chains
and stable interiors. I am going to demonstrate sea floor spreading
and subduction using table edges and newspaper (this might be
good for my sighted students,
too).--------------------------------------------
