There are pragmatic reasons, sure, like opportunity to see some geological cross-sections. But I didn&#8217;t add any meaningful geological cross sections in these examples (unless you count the fossils I snuck in). I think when we see a diorama like this it echoes in our minds that what we are seeing is an intricate scale model. It becomes its own thing, rather than a snapshot of the actual thing. When a map perspective becomes <em>enthingified<\/em> like this, it brings along its own, however small, sense of mass and gravity. An entity in itself, rather than a facsimile of reality. And somehow when we feel we&#8217;re looking at a miniaturized extract of earth we can borrow that energy towards feeling that way about the whole earth. The earth, by extension, becomes enthingified.<\/p>\n<p>A fish tank is a cube of water and gravel and creatures, at a scale we can wrap our arms and minds around. But a fish tank, as a small extract of the vast and complex chaos of the global ocean, bridges our sense of scale and lets us wonder and admire the whole. Via the portion.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you give this sort of map a try.
