How a Volcano is Formed (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. It shows the cross-section of a volcano, with the magma, crater and main vent all labelled. The magma is textured, and the user can feel the layer of the volcano as a series of lines.
World maps of volcanoes and earthquakes (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThese pages show a map of the World showing the Volcanoes and Earthquakes with an accompanying key. It is a multi-page image set on three pages. Page 1: Keys to world maps of volcanoes and earthquakes. This page has two keys: the one on the left is the key to the world map of volcanoes; the one on the right is the key to the world map of earthquakes. Both keys show two-letter abbreviations for the continents. Down from these are examples of the symbols and textures used. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Page 2: World map of volcanoes This is a map of the volcanoes on the surface of the earth framed by a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. All landmasses are textured and sea areas are untextured. On the left of the page are North and South America, in the centre Europe and Africa and to the right Asia and Australasia. Small volcanoes are marked by dots and large ones by small triangles. These are shown on Keys to world maps of volcanoes and earthquakes. Page 3: World map of earthquakes This is a map showing where earthquakes have occurred on the surface of the earth. It is framed by a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. All landmasses are textured and sea areas are untextured. On the left of the page are North and South America, in the centre Europe and Africa and to the right Asia and Australasia. Small earthquakes are marked by small dots and larger ones by larger dots. These are shown on Keys to world maps of volcanoes and earthquakes

Cone Volcano (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. It shows the cross section of a cone volcano. Labels describe the shape and structure of the volcano, and students can feel the layers, and the lava rising up through the middle.
Composite Volcano (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE students. The diagram shows a cross section of a composite volcano, with different textures indicating ash and lava, showing how the volcano builds up.
Volcano types (UEB contracted)
by RnibThere are three types of volcano shown on this page. At the left is a composite volcano made up from alternating layers of rock and lava; at the top right is a shield volcano made from many layers of runny lava; and at the bottom right there is an ash volcano formed from lava and ash. Each diagram has a dashed line image border. At the bottom left of the page, stretching across the diagram, is a layer of molten magma (the mantle). In the middle of the diagram, the magma has forced its way through the Earth's crust and is erupting from the top of the volcano, and also through two smaller vents on either side. At the top right of the page is the much flatter form of a shield volcano with magma at the bottom of the diagram forcing its way through the Earth's crust. At the bottom right is an ash volcano. You can see the lava and ash forcing its way upward from the magma layer at the bottom of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up.

World globe centred on Africa (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis is a globe map centred on the African continent. As the land masses shown are on the curved surface of the Earth, this image will be distorted, especially at its edge. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Land is shown on the tactile image as a fine dotted texture and the sea by fine horizontal lines, these are green and blue respectively on the Large Print image. This globe map represents the Earth as seen from space, directly above the Africa. Central Africa is in the centre of the map, up the page is Europe and to the right of this, Asia. To the left of Africa are the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern half of South America, on the edge of the globe.

Leaf Cross Section (UEB uncontracted)
by Rnib BookshareThis page shows an image of a cross section through a leaf. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left, when the image is the correct way up. The image is surrounded by a dashed line image border. There is a small key in the bottom left corner of the tactile versions. The central vein is on the right and a small part of the leaf blade is to the left of the page. The vein is full of two sorts of vessel which transport water and material around the plant. The leaf blade is made of four layers. The upper and lower epidermis is at the leaf surfaces. The palisade and spongy layers form the mesophyl tissue in the centre of the leaf.
