Question

how many types of maps can we create using the map given above?Write one feature of each type of map​

Answer 1

Answer

1. Political Map

A political map shows the state and national boundaries of a place. A political map does not have any topographic features.

It also shows the location of cities, with respect to each other.

2. Physical Map

A physical map is one which shows the physical features of a place or country, like rivers, mountains, forests and lakes.

The physical features are usually shown in different colors.

Rivers and lakes are shown in blue, places of low elevation are shown in dark green and as the elevation increases, the color becomes light green and eventually orange.

Mountains are shown in brown.

3. Topographic Map

Topographic maps are similar to physical maps, which show the physical features of an area. Although in topographic maps, differences in elevation and changes in landscape are shown with the help of contour lines and not colors.
