Physical maps focus on the natural features of a region, including:
* Elevation: Shown through contour lines, colors, or shading to represent the height of the land.
* Water bodies: Rivers, lakes, oceans, and seas are typically shown in blue.
* Landforms: Mountains, valleys, plateaus, and other natural features are depicted.
* Vegetation: Forests, grasslands, and other vegetation types may be shown.
These maps are useful for understanding the geography of a region and how natural features interact.
