Globe-Mounting Styles

Has a full circle encompassing the entire sphere. Most of these styles use a gyro-matic system to allow you easy viewing with full dual-axis rotation. - Semi-Meridian
Uses a semi-circle meridian allowing for full rotation along a single axis. - Inclination
Allows for full rotation along one axis. The globe is mounted on a spire instead of a meridian. - Leg Mounting
Utilizes a full meridian, but only allows for single-axis rotation due to the legs and larger base. This mounting style is most common on floor and decorative desktop globe styles.
