physical maps
On a usual world map, as well as many other maps, the most common color will probably be the color depicting water, which is usually blue. Some maps may portray water as white or black.
One way to show Earth's bodies of water and continents is by using a map. Maps typically use different colors to differentiate between water bodies (blue) and landmasses (various colors for continents). Another way is to use a globe, which provides a 3D representation of the Earth's surface with its water bodies and continents.
It is a physical map
When you look into an ocean or a lake, the water looks like it's blue. But, up close, water isn't really blue. It's only blue when you look at it in big groups, (like an ocean or a lake, a pond etc.), because the sky is blue, so the color of the sky makes a blue reflection on the water, making it look blue. So, on a map, if you drew water as clear, nobody would be able to tell there was anything there at all! So, water on a map is drawn blue instead.
Fish and maps both can be found in water. Fish live in water, while maps can show bodies of water like oceans, rivers, and lakes. Additionally, both fish and maps can help navigate through the water.
Yes. Political maps typically show the outlines of landforms, with different countries tinted different colors. Bodies of water are usually shown as solid blue with no discernible details.
