Globe with Ocean
Bathymetric Detail: Features high-contrast, raised-relief topography and specialized markings for major cold and warm surface ocean currents to facilitate marine science instruction.
Calibrated Rotation: Engineered with a 30 cm diameter sphere mounted on a graduated metallic meridian and high-stability base for precise longitudinal and latitudinal alignment during demonstrations.
$6.99
Quick answer: A Globe with Ocean highlights ocean-floor and seabed features — such as mid-ocean ridges, trenches and continental shelves — alongside standard land geography, giving students a more complete picture of Earth’s surface than a land-only globe.
Most classroom globes emphasise land: countries, capitals, mountain ranges and rivers. A Globe with Ocean adds detail below the waterline, depicting the ocean floor’s relief so students can see that the seabed has its own mountains, ridges and deep trenches rather than being a flat blue expanse. This makes it a useful aid for lessons connecting geography with oceanography and plate tectonics, where the shape of the ocean floor helps explain concepts such as seafloor spreading and continental drift.

Care & Handling
Keep away from direct sunlight and humid storage, which can fade or warp the printed surface over time. Clean with a soft, dry cloth only. Handle by the stand rather than the sphere itself to avoid marking the printed detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a “globe with ocean” different from a standard globe?
It adds relief detail below the waterline — features such as mid-ocean ridges, trenches and continental shelves — instead of showing the ocean as a flat, featureless blue area.
What topics does this globe support?
It is useful for geography lessons that connect to oceanography and plate tectonics, where seafloor shape helps explain concepts like seafloor spreading.
Does it still show standard land geography?
Yes — countries, borders and major physical features on land are shown alongside the ocean-floor detail.
What size is the globe?
Exact diameter and stand dimensions are not specified for this listing — please confirm with our sales team.
How should the globe be cared for?
Keep it out of direct sunlight and humidity, clean with a soft dry cloth, and handle it by the stand to avoid marking the printed surface.
Can LabEquip help select the right globe for our earth-science curriculum?
Yes — share your syllabus and grade level with our sales team and we can recommend a suitable globe from our range.
