Each manufacturer utilizes their own maps, but currently there are over 100 different maps in over 15 languages in use by Replogle Globes Inc. itself. As you can imagine, by the time you consider all of the other manufacturers the number is even higher! This large number of different maps is made necessary due to the different sizes, languages, and styles of globes that are available. See similar questions...

The bumps or textured surfaces on globes are called raised relief. Globes with raised relief better emphasize the mountainous areas of the world. They are there so you can see and feel the mountains. Being able to see and feel the Andes, Himalayas, or Rocky Mountains can give a better understanding of how geography can influence not only politics and culture, but natural phenomena, e.g. weather, as well.

Unless someone in these other cities goes out and finds the sites for me, there is nothing I can do. The information used on this site is NOT provided by the carriers, and must be found in person. Unless I can make frequent trips to the cities in question, I can't personally locate sites there. So far, no one has offered to do the necessary footwork in locations such as Montreal, Ottawa, or Vancouver, so it is highly unlike you'll see site maps for these places. See similar questions...

The data used for most maps is available on the Atlas CD. However, it is in "dbf" format. If you have access to data base management software that recognizes the "dbf" format, you can use it to access the map data. The dbf data files are located in the folder structure: "climatls\aeprojs\dbfshape\project\". That folder structure is off the root directory of your CD. See similar questions...

See the online poster, Human Genome Landmarks: Selected Traits and Disorders Mapped to Chromosomes. This poster provides chromosome-by-chromosome maps of some of the genes, traits, and disorders that have been linked to each chromosome. These maps were generated using the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. The Genome Database (GDB) and the Human Genome Map Viewer available through the National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI) are other resources that you can use to browse the genome.

Brahmoism is born of Hinduism and Christianity and so on with other minor religions. See similar questions...

Subject to space limitations, manufacturers attempt to list all nations and capitals, then the biggest city in that country or state, or an important city. There are more names on the coastline because there is room for them. If a city has some importance other than size or a capital, then it's added. The US Government has a list of names for cities and countries outside North America that they call 'conventional' names. See similar questions...

Subject to space limitations, most attempt to list all nations and capitals, then the biggest city in that country or state, or an important city. There are typically more names along the coastlines because there is more room for them. If a city has some importance other than size or being a capital, then it’s added whenever possible. The US Government has a list of names for cities and countries outside North America that they call ‘conventional’ names. See similar questions...

There are two basic types of hooks, on-locking (standard) and locking. Locking hooks are fairly new and there are several designs out there. The primary purpose for the locking mechanism is to increase the amount of weight a hook can hold (the lock keeps the hook from opening) and to prevent the hooks from coming out (for example, if suspending from great heights). Standard hooks (fishing hooks) are definitely the most commonly used design for suspension. See similar questions...

Due to the sheer scale, a map of the world isn't really feasible in the game, as a single city would place your borders over entire continents. However, the individual maps in the Conquer The World campaign, which does take place on a huge world map broken down into territories, are seeded based on the actual location that you are fighting in. For example, if you are battling in a territory in North Africa, the terrain of the individual maps will resemble that part of the world. See similar questions...

Gridded data for most maps with the OCS (Oregon Climate Service) logo are available for purchase through The Climate Source. These are high-resolution, latitude/longitude grids with continuous values for each pixel. Grids are in ESRI ASCII GRID format, which is compatible with most major GIS packages.

The station circle represents the cloud cover; open circle means clear; and a completely covered circle means 100% cloud cover (or fog). The line extending outward from the station circle is called a wind barb and represents the wind flow; where the wind is blowing from the direction of the barb (north is towards the top of the map and east is towards the viewer's right). The line(s) extending from the end of the barb are called feathers and represent the windspeed. See similar questions...
