A political map shows national boundaries, highlighting countries and their borders. It displays the official territorial divisions and boundaries between nations.
A map that shows physical boundaries is most often called a road map or road atlas if there is more than one map involved. Physical boundaries between countries and states are usually shown as dotted lines.
A political map serves this purpose as opposed to a physical map which shows features of geography, such as mountains
A political map is one that shows the borders of countries and states.
Because the map of China shows the boundaries of China, and probably internal divisions as well, it is a political map. If it also shows mountains, rivers, lakes, etc, it can also be a physical map.
Physical maps show features of geography - such as mountain regions
When you look at a physical map it will show you it OK? Its quite hard to find a physical map with physical boundaries because not all have them. So It'll be quite hard. Hope this helps!
A physical map shows natural features such as mountains, rivers, lakes, and oceans. It uses colors and shading to represent the different landforms and bodies of water on the Earth's surface. This type of map is useful for understanding the topography of an area and its physical characteristics.
A physical map shows physical features such as landforms or elevation etc. A political map shows things such as land boundaries and capitals. Knowing the difference between the two really helps a lot.
