Question

explain in two sentences how colours and symbols in maps are useful ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Colors stand out from the map and provide identification to many features such as vegetation and water. Colors represent natural and man-made features of the earth. Coupled with contour lines, colors add fabric to the features and terrain.

Answer 2

Answer:

The typical colour standard for topographical maps depicts contours in brown, bodies of water in blue, boundaries in black and grids and roads in red. Topographich maps may use different colours to represent area features. Physical maps commonly use colour most dramatically to show changes in elevation.
