South America Advanced Physical Pull Down Map
This map answers questions a political map cannot: why the Atacama stays bone dry, why the Amazon drains east, how the Andes govern climate on both flanks. BrightWay Educational replaces multi-color country fill with a single elevation ramp, so relief and landforms read first and borders read second. Built for grades 9 and up.
- Azimuthal Equidistant projection, chosen to hold landmass proportions with minimal distortion across the continent
- Georeference and degree lines for teaching the global grid and latitude-driven climate
- National capitals, major and secondary cities, and disputed borders all labeled
- Bathymetric relief and ocean surface currents offshore, plus rivers, lakes, islands, and mountain ranges
- Side panels on population density, geology and bedrock with tectonic plates and volcanoes, and Köppen climate zones
High school geography departments, community college earth science instructors, and home school parents use it to walk students from the Guiana Shield to Patagonia in one sweep. Mounts on a spring roller with backboard, and Map Shop also carries it as a standard wall map. Updated regularly.
