Question

Describe various types of maps class 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are three different types of maps:

Physical map: This map represents the physical landscape (features) of a particular place. The features are represented with varied colours; for example, rivers, lakes, oceans, seas and other water bodies are represented with blue colour and elevations like mountains, plateaus and hills are shown with different colours and shades.

Political map: It does not show geographical features. It shows the political boundaries of a particular place, e.g. national and state boundaries of a place. These boundaries depict the locations of cities as per the details given on the map.

Thematic map: This map focuses on one specific theme, which could be rivers, roads, highways, airports or railways.
