Paleo surface topography
Earth’s reconstructed global surface topography from the beginning of the Cenozoic era (66 Million years ago) until today.
Topography comes to life in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make understanding Earth’s surface features clear and engaging. From mountains, valleys, and plains to ocean trenches and plateaus, these visuals explain how topography is shaped by geological processes such as plate tectonics, erosion, and volcanism. Ideal for educators, students, and geography enthusiasts, this topography graphic collection turns complex landscape concepts into easy-to-grasp, visually rich resources for teaching and learning.
