Answer:

The globe is not the best model to study the surface of the Earth because not all physical-geographical, socio-economic changes can be observed.

The globe provides general information about:

  • countries and continents
  • main rivers, streams
  • the capitals of the countries and possibly the big cities

Thus, in order to study the surface of the Earth, we will use the geographical map that offers us various information:

  • the geological structure
  • types of climates
  • the distribution of natural resources
  • types of tourism.
