Greetings!
Working in 3-D. Users can customize a globe by specifying different details
that will appear on the globe. For instance, one instance of the globe may
contain highways and lakes. Another instance may contain glaciers and
forrests. Yet another may contain both or neither of these. It's totally
user defined. Each of these must be defined as separate and distinct
<WhateverWordWeDecideOn>.
Here are some of my suggestions:
1. Environment
2. Scenario
3. Scene
4. Landscape
5. Terrain Type

Be seeing you,
