Europe and the anthroposphere. Earth hemisphere map, centred on Europe and the surrounding areas, including Africa, the Arctic and Atlantic. The map shows major road and rail networks over land, along with transmission line, underwater cable and shipping lane data superimposed over satellite images of land with cities illuminated at night. This data illustrates human impact on the planet, a concept known as the anthroposphere or technosphere.
