Earth’s surface representation

Earth’s surface is represented through various models and maps that depict its physical features, such as mountains, valleys, and bodies of water. These representations use symbols, colors, and topographical data to accurately convey elevation, landforms, and geographic relationships. Techniques like satellite imagery, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and printed maps help visualize Earth’s complex surface in a way that supports navigation, research, and resource management. Although simplified for clarity, these models aim to provide an accurate, functional understanding of Earth's diverse terrains and features.
