NASA World Wind Add-ons
If you wish to add some novel features to the NASA World Wind software then you can do it easily by installing NASA World Wind add-ons program. The amount of functionality that you can add to your NASA World Wind using these add-ons is vast. In short, once you start using the adds-on feature, you will be addicted to use it.
Sea level standard add-on: This add-on is very well liked and largely accepted because it includes shaded relief maps that demonstrate the current sea level and the sae levels that is about 80m higher and 120m lower. This match up to the values of last ice age and outcome of melting of Antarctic and Arctic ice sheets. Make sure that you have the latest version of this add-on to access its superior version.
Another NASA World Wind adds-on that you can install in your computer is post-glacial ice- cover. It is simply incredible. This add-on represents the global ice sheets precisely as they have eventually retreated since the last ice age about 17000-20000 years ago. In this add-on, maps are included after every thousand-year intervals that shows the data of last 20000 years.
Are you interested to see the geological age and the makeup of North America? Well you will be able to see the aforementioned data only if you have North American Tapestry add-on. Also included here are the distributions of various types of rock formation. The cartographic tapestry displayed is woven precisely from shaded relief image and geological map. This digital combination demonstrates the amazing geologic history of the North America with the interrelation of different rock types, topography and time.
You will be glad to know that an innovative adds-on has been developed that shows variations in the gravitational fields. This is referred as gravitational anomaly add-on. A Number of factors are responsible to get these difference results. Differences in composition, crustal thickness and elevation can result in alterations in the strength of gravitational force for a given location. This add-on features semi-transparent and opaque representations of relative strength of gravitational forces across the globe.
Magnetic declination add-on: are you aware of the fact that our Earth has a magnetic field? If yes, then do you know about the kind of impact it has on living beings? This is a fact that it is responsible for phenomena like migration of marine animals and birds. This magnetic field acts like a protective covering. It defends the surface of the Earth from harmful extraterrestrial radiations. You can install the magnetic declination add-on if you are curious to know about the properties of your Earth's magnetic field. The add-on offers information on field strength, inclination as well as declination of the magnetic fields.
Super volcanoes Add-on: If you want to know about volcanoes that have been existing for a number of years then you must consider using this adds-on. It exhibits largest volcanoes that geologists often claimed their existence. Natural Earth add-on: This map describes shaded land cover in high-resolution. The ocean can easily be turned off, if you want to use with other layers of the NASA World Wind.
