Tectonics cut’n'fold, Maybe
Good luck trying to put this one together.
I say that in good fun. I actually enjoyed the challenge and possibilities of assembling this map, which uses as the map boundary the entire set of earth’s active tectonic lines (minus a few prunings of the topological tree). And I’ve only done one, and used too much tape, which limits the folded globe’s responsiveness to touch. But, like I say, the possibilities are enchanting.
Earth Tectonics, Highly Interrupted
Here is the globe I made:
Paper Globe Tectonically Responsive to Touch
and, just for reference, here is Paul Lowman’s Global Tectonic Activity Map.
I’ll post an annotated version soon, showing the boundaries used to make the constant-scale natural boundary map.
