Atlas (geography)

An atlas is a collection of maps, typically bound together in book form, that provides geographical information about different regions of the world. It includes various types of maps, such as political, physical, and thematic maps, which illustrate features like borders, mountains, climates, and population distributions. Atlases can serve as valuable resources for understanding the layout of countries, cities, and continents, as well as for studying spatial relationships and demographic trends. They are widely used in education, travel, and research to enhance our knowledge of the Earth's geography.
