Answer 2

Answer:

These maps help us to understand the

nature of the terrain, where the mountains

are, where the valleys are, etc. If you look

at the physical map of Telangana, you can

identify the Godavari slopes in the Eastern

part. If you travel westwards from the

slopes, you will reach the hills in the

Plateau region. The plateau region itself is

cut by many rivers like the Krishna and the

Godavari, which form deep and broad

valleys in them.

Maps showing height are very essential

when roads or dams have to be

constructed. If we have to lay roads in an

undulating region between two places, such

maps help us in deciding the route to be

taken by the road. Similarly, when dams are

planned, it is necessary to know how much

land will be submerged by the water of the

dam.
