  • Understanding Physical Maps: Earth's Landforms & Features
    A physical map shows the physical features of Earth.

    Here are some examples of what you might find on a physical map:

    * Landforms: Mountains, valleys, plains, plateaus, deserts, and bodies of water.

    * Elevation: Shown through contour lines or color gradients.

    * Water features: Oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams.

    * Vegetation: Forests, grasslands, and tundra.

    Other types of maps:

    * Political maps show countries, states, cities, and other political boundaries.

    * Thematic maps focus on a specific theme, like population density, climate, or economic activity.

    * Road maps show highways, roads, and cities.

    * Topographic maps provide detailed information about elevation and landforms.
