Global Seismicity and World Cities. USGS. This map (53 x 34.5") displays the worldwide hazard to cities posed by large earthquakes. When earthquakes occur near cities of any size, the potential for damage is great. On this map more than 39,000 earthquake epicenters (purple dots) are ...
Global Map. Over 80 million spot heights were used to create the accurate hill shading and there are tints to show ocean depths and currents. Time clocks are usefully appended along the top to show zone changes Image of the entire map 67-5803 1 sheet, rolled, laminated. $49.99 World Map...
Geographers argue that the loss of the Isthmus of Panama was world-changing, since it altered the flow of currents and allowed marine animals to migrate between the oceans. However, the now-disconnected Isthmus of Panama still serves as the border between North and South America.Challenges...
Ocean Circulation: Changes in ocean circulation patterns can impact global climate. For example, the slowdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during glacial periods can lead to cooler temperatures in the North Atlantic region. Volcanic Activity: Increased volcanic activity can in...
political map, a physical map, and regional maps. World Thematic Maps consist of eleven global maps covering climate, rainfall, temperatures, prevailing winds, ocean currents, vegetation, land use, population, racial distribution, languages, and religions—presenting a “global” view of human ...

The animation shows sea surface height anomalies around the world: Red and orange indicate ocean heights that were higher than the global mean sea surface height, while blue represents heights lower than the mean. Sea level differences can highlight ocean currents, like the Gulf Stream coming off...

A satellite dubbed the "Ferrari of space" has yielded the most accurate model of ocean circulation yet, boosting understanding of the seas and a key impact of global warming, scientists said Tuesday. Data sent home by the Gravity field and Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) "mapped variations in...
