A three-dimensional display assembly conveying Earth science information.
In the current bottom, the display assembly is a series of interconnected
inset spherical layers which represent the inner and outer layers of the
Earth. The layers are constructed of in the current embodiment, a foam
like material which provides for ease construction and displaying various
Earth information such as geographic information, rock formations
landmasses etc. On the outer surface of the Earth's crust, the continents
and oceans are represented in graphical format by imprinting images on
series of polyvinyl chloride sheeting which configures to the curvature
of the sphere. The inner spheres are accessible to look into the various
layers of the Earth by taking the top hemisphere of the outermost layer
off. This is done by removing a securing device which in the current
bottom is a latch laid flush with the top surface of the sphere.
