MOVA Globes are designed to rotate silently on their own, using the power of light and Earths\' magnetic field. Click here to see how MOVA Globes work. This MOVA Globe is a seamless blend of traditional style with a lustrous finish. It takes the world globe you already know, and elevates it with vivid green continents contrasted against the blue oceans. Shading within the land areas adds depth while showing terrain in various places around the world. Longitude and latitude lines are depicted to illustrate the earth\'s features in even more detail. This is combined with a glossy finish that enhances each color. The MG-6-BGE comes with a clear three pronged acrylic stand, however there are more MOVA Globe stands to choose from right here. The Blue with Relief Map Gloss Finish design is also available in the smaller 4.5\" size.Have any questions about MOVA Globes?
