Bring geography to life with the 7 Continent Advanced Physical Classroom Pull Down Map Set by BrightWay Educational. Designed for grades 9+, this detailed set features maps of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceania & Antarctica. Land is presented in each map with a colorful elevation ramp, instead of multi-color countries, to aid in the clear understanding of physical features.
These maps were designed with teachers and built for students. This Advanced Physical map set includes georeferencing & degree lines, national capitals, major and secondary cities, disputed borders, ocean currents, and bathymetric relief. Perfect for high school and college classrooms, these maps offer a deeper level of geographic detail. Regular updates ensure they’re among the most current educational maps available.
Product Features:
- Bright, vivid colors clearly define countries and territories, making the maps visually engaging for students grades 9+.
- Grades 9+ Focused: Designed specifically for high school and collegiate classrooms, these maps support Advanced Physical geography instruction.
- Prominent physical features: Each map uses a colorful elevation ramp instead of multi-colored political borders, making it easier to understand terrain, landforms, and physical geography.
- Georeference and degree lines offer spatial context, allowing students to comprehend the global grid system and improve map-reading skills.
- National capitals, major cities, secondary cities, and disputed areas are clearly labeled, offering one of the most information-rich political geography references available for classroom use.
- Comprehensive physical geography: Includes oceans, mountain ranges, islands, rivers, lakes, and marine features (plus ocean surface currents and bathymetric relief) to support a deeper understanding of both land and water geography.
Map Details:
- Continent Maps (Equal Earth Projection): Each map of Australia/Oceania, Europe, & Asia uses the Equal Earth projection, while the maps of Antarctica, North America, South America, & Africa use the Azimuthal Equidistant projection. Both projections accurately represent landmass sizes with minimal distortion. This ensures geographical accuracy and allows students to better understand the true proportions of each continent’s features and countries.
- Inset Detail:
- The North America map includes detailed insets of both the Arctic and the Caribbean, providing students with a clearer understanding of these important regions in relation to the continent.
- Both Europe and Asia maps include a detailed inset of the Arctic, enhancing students’ understanding of the northern polar region in relation to the continents.
- Educational Panels: Each map includes additional panels that provide deeper context across key topics:
- Population Density: Darker colors represent denser population areas, with major cities clearly highlighted.
- Geology & Bedrock: Highlights tectonic plates, volcanoes, and the dominant type and age of bedrock across regions.
- Climate Zones: Displays Köppen climate classifications to help students understand global climate patterns and how they relate to geography, ecosystems, and human settlement.
Ideal for classrooms, homeschool settings, and learning spaces, the 7 Continent Advanced Physical Pull Down Map Set by BrightWay Educational helps students in grades 9+ explore the world in depth. With shaded relief, elevation ramps, ocean currents, and bathymetric contours, these maps highlight the physical shape of the planet, from mountain ranges and deserts to ocean trenches and river systems. Designed to build spatial awareness and deepen understanding of Earth’s physical structure, this set is a valuable tool for advanced geography instruction.
