atlases
Atlases are collections of maps or charts that provide information about geographic areas. They can include detailed maps of countries, continents, and cities, as well as thematic maps showing climate, population, or resources. Atlases often come in printed books, but digital versions are also common. They serve as valuable tools for understanding spatial relationships, planning travel, and learning about different regions and cultures. By presenting visual representations of geographical data, atlases help users grasp complex information in an accessible and organized manner.
