describe the main features of the three types of maps..(Thematic, physical, political map)
Answers
(1)Thematic maps also portray basic features such as coastlines, boundaries and places, but they are only used as a point of locational reference for the phenomenon being mapped. Thematic maps also emphasize spatial variation of one or a number of geographic distributions.
(2)Physical maps show natural features such as mountains, lowlands, major rivers, seas, oceans and ecosystems like deserts and rainforests on a global scale. On a national scale, physical maps show relief and drainage features, such as rivers. Some maps show physical features that are experienced rather than seen.
(3)Political Maps - does not show physical features. Instead, they show state and national boundaries and capital and major cities. Physical Maps - illustrate the physical features of an area, such as the mountains, rivers and lakes.
