The globe does have topography and you can feel the various mountain ranges on the land masses.

I'm sorry but I don't know. This globe was purchased several years ago as a gift.

I do not believe so. I do not see any way to raise it. It is very comfortable though.

We try to update the Hugg-A-Planet as often as new countries and borders emerge, for instance Chechoslovkia is no longer a country but now two, we have them labeled in a somewhat abbreviated form, Chech for the Chech Republic and Slovakia, you will also notice that recent Hugg-A-Planets since 2012 have South Sudan labeled, there is a sea of information about how new countries are recognized and eventually get onto new editions of world maps. Sometimes we even get to be the first commercially available globes to recognize new countries. Unfortunately we do not make any Hugg-A-Pangea but I will take this to R&D and see if we can develop something.

sorry I can not measure the globe now. It is at our mountain cabin and I will not be at the cabin for about two weeks from now.

I have not been in too high altitudes , like CO, but I have had no issues in the Appalacian Mountains.

I live in Death Valley. The highest point on earth. Higher than Mt Everest. I burn using hydrogen at my elevation. NASA has endless surplus hydrogen for sale when Obama cancelled the space shuttle program in favor of promoting Dhimmitude and Sharia Law.

No but have hiked up steep mountains with step and boulders, etc. and have not had an issue.

Yes it does. I got them for a trip to New Zealand but didn't use it very much. Guess it was more of a bother and we didn't do "hiking" as much as we just walked.

Yes. There are tabs on the underside for two different levels of elevation; i.e., you can have it flat, slightly elevated, or even further elevated.

They both can be elevated but for me i didnt really elevate them bc it seemed a bit awkward the angle didnt really seem comfortable but maybe because i am tall or didnt adjust them correctly. But the length can be adjusted. Hope this helps!

The globe I received has the mountain ranges elevated as 'bumps' as you mentioned

That's a good question, but I have no answer. I do know I love these poles up the mountain and down!!!!

2014 - Globe looks up to date. What borders will be tomorrow, who knows. Good quality for the price. It was for my grandson who is in grade school. Plenty good enough for him to get a concept of the real earth. Not up to NatGeo standards but a good buy.
