ABSTRACT:
A globe apparatus is provided which includes a basic globe or sphere to which are secured a series of detachable members or pieces. In one preferred embodiment, land masses (continents) are represented by flat pieces which snap into the globe surface and which support, in detachable snap-on relationship, additional pieces representing countries. The countries are shaped in relief to depict topological features (mountains, valleys, etc.) and similarly shaped pieces representing land masses are, in turn, detachable fitted thereover so that removal of the latter reveals the countries. Accessories such as auxilliary globes representing the sun and moon are also provided.
