The 'bumps' are called raised relief and better emphasize the mountainous areas of the world. They are there so that you can 'SEE & FEEL' the mountains-although their actual height on the globe does not have any relationship to the true relative heights of the mountain ranges.

Many globes are made to tilt at an angle of 23? to match the actual tilt of the Earth. Incidentally, it is this tilting of the Earth, relative to the sun as it orbits around it, that causes the seasons to change and give us more daylight hours at certain times of the year.

Any surface onto which a thick media is applied. There are texture paints that have sand or silica mixed in, or actual sculpted areas applied to a wall by trowel to produce a myriad of effects. The origins may have been as a fix for constantly cracking plaster walls or ceilings, to simply a desire to manipulate 'liquid stone' or plaster products into three-dimensional art. The methods and techniques are as endless as the artist's imagination.

mil PVC or greater already has an embossing on one side, processed during manufacture that provides a controlled pattern. This embossing helps PVC, already known for its flexibility, to conform to and 'grip' the contours of the ground.

Most manufacturers have a policy of updating a map every time it's printed. Although the names or boundaries of countries can change due to wars or other political upheavals, most changes are simple name changes that are relatively easy to make.
