MAPS
****
A map is a visual representation of an entire area or a part of an area, typically represented on a flat surface.

It is a drawing of all or part of Earth’s surface. Its basic purpose is to show where things are. Maps may show visible features, such as rivers and lakes, forests, buildings, and roads. They may also show things that cannot be seen, such as boundaries and temperatures. Most maps are drawn on a flat surface. A map displayed on a round surface is called a globe.

**TYPES OF MAP**

1.. Political Map

A political map shows the state and national boundaries of a place. A political map does not have any topographic features.

It also shows the location of cities, with respect to each other.

2. Physical Map

A physical map is one which shows the physical features of a place or country, like rivers, mountains, forests and lakes.

The physical features are usually shown in different colors.

Rivers and lakes are shown in blue, places of low elevation are shown in dark green and as the elevation increases, the color becomes light green and eventually orange.

Mountains are shown in brown.

An atlas is a collection of maps; it is typically a bundle of maps of Earth or a region of Earth. Atlases have traditionally been bound into book form, but today many atlases are in multimedia formats.
