Physical Map

A physical map is a type of map that shows the natural features of a region, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, and valleys. Unlike political maps, which focus on boundaries and places, physical maps use colors and shading to depict terrain elevation and landforms. For example, you might see green areas for lowlands and brown or gray for mountains. These maps help us visualize the geography of an area, making it easier to understand its landscape and how it can affect climate, ecology, and human activities.
