difference and similarities between map2 and present map of india





​

Answer 1

Explanation:

both maps are quite different from each other , even though they represent the same area in map1 we find south India at the place where we would expect to find north India and Sri Lanka is the island at the top. The place names are in Arabic. in comparison to this map2 was made nearly 600 later after map1. by that time information about the subcontinent had changed a lot. This map appears to be more familiar to us. the coastal areas, particularly, are more detailed.

map 1 and map 2 represent two different times

map 1 was made in 1154CE by alldrisi, an Arab geographer. This section is a detail of Indian subcontinent from his larger map of the world . Map2 was made by a French cartographer in 1720.
