Relief Map

A relief map is a type of map that shows the elevation and terrain of an area, making it easier to visualize the physical landscape. It uses various colors, shading, and 3D effects to represent mountains, valleys, and flat lands. Unlike regular maps that focus on streets and political boundaries, relief maps highlight the height and depth of the ground, helping users understand geographical features at a glance. They are often used in geography and education to illustrate how landscapes change, aiding in the study of topography and natural environments.
