topographic maps have contour lines that show a specific place...
Topographic maps are used to show elevation on land, and bathymetric maps are used to show depth in bodies of water.
A physical map is the one that shows things like rivers, mountains and plateaus. The proper name for them however is a topographic maps.
Topographic maps show topography. Topography is the height and dimensions of a land mass above water, conversely bythmetery is know as water topography. Geologic maps show geological feature of a land mass such as vegetation and climate zones.
Contour lines show elevation differences on topographic maps. On other maps, a coloured grid can show changes in elevation (these are called digital elevation models or DEMs).
Elevation is one of the things that a topographic map will show.

topographic maps
all land north or south of the equator
Topographic maps are used to show elevation on land, and bathymetric maps are used to show depth in bodies of water.
Maps show many things but, there are also different types of maps. For the common topographic map it shows elevation, Magnetic north, the year made and revised, the UTM section, and a scale of the map.
Topographic maps represent the Earth's surface because they show elevation in addition to distance and direction.
They show elevation and slope.
