Africa appears fourteen times larger than Greenland — as it actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinents are named, and physical features are carried across the whole sheet. Peaks are named with their heights in metres. Major rivers, major lakes, dams and pans are shown, and waterfalls are named and symbolised. Coastal points and islands are named, oceans, seas, bays and straits are labelled, and undersea features are shown rather than left as flat blue. Capital cities, major cities and towns are marked, and latitude and longitude lines are drawn in degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeography classrooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e Terrain, rivers, lakes, waterfalls and undersea features on an equal-area projection, so continental land masses compare truthfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeaching the projection itself.\u003c\/strong\u003e The sheet is a working example of how map projections change what a map appears to say.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference and briefing rooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e Physical geography above and below sea level on a single 1 475mm sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor political geography instead.\u003c\/strong\u003e The companion sheet, the \u003cem\u003eWorld Political Educational Wall Map (Equal Earth)\u003c\/em\u003e, carries country and dependency names on the same projection and scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 32%; text-align: left;\"\u003eScale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:30 300 000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1st\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eProjection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEqual Earth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1475 × 841 mm (W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaminated, with or without battens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781776170975\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Map Studio","offers":[{"title":"No Batten","offer_id":45831463567495,"sku":"9781776170975","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Batten","offer_id":45831463600263,"sku":"9781776170975B","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/1817\/7671\/files\/9781776170975-world-physical-educational-equal-earth-FULL.png?v=1789053254","url":"https:\/\/www.mapstudio.co.za\/products\/world-physical-educational-wall-map-equal-earth","provider":"Map Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
