All maps of the atlas are based on modern geographical foundations created by GIS technologies using digital maps. The layout of many maps in the atlas differs from similar maps in other editions. In particular, the maps of Africa show the Black Sea and southern Ukraine, which allows us to better understand the links between our country and the countries of the African continent (in accordance with the curriculum), the maps of North America show the Caribbean, which is geographically related to this region, to the maximum extent possible, rather than the map of South America, etc.
All the maps of the atlas are created with relief wash, which allows, firstly, to present a comprehensive picture of the physical surface of the continents and the ocean floor, to trace the relationship between landforms and tectonic structures, the dependence of climate on the underlying surface, and natural zones on the terrain.
The atlas contains maps created according to the latest data from international organisations monitoring the environment, including a climate map of the world created using open data from WorldClim - Global Climate Data, maps of natural zones of the world and the environmental situation on Earth, based on the latest data from the World Conservation Organisation.
For the first time in educational atlases on the geography of continents and oceans, maps are presented: «Formation of the territory of continents and the settlement of indigenous peoples (maps of Africa, North and South America, Australia); languages and peoples of Eurasia; relief of Antarctica without ice cover with the display of predicted minerals, ice cover thickness.
A special feature of the atlas is the presence of a map of the Southern Ocean, display of the ocean floor relief by washing, showing the fauna with artistic icons, and presentation of UNESCO protected sites.
