what is a map? how is it useful​

Answer 1

Maps present information about the world in a simple, visual way. They teach about the world by showing sizes and shapes of countries, locations of features, and distances between places. Maps can show distributions of things over Earth, such as settlement patterns.

Answer 2

Maps use symbols like lines and different colours to show features such as rivers, roads, cities or mountains. ... All these symbols help us to visualise what things on the ground actually look like. Maps also help us to know distances so that we know how far away one thing is from another.
