2 What is the difference between a political map and a physical map?

Answer 1

A physical map shows all the rivers, mountain ranges and other geographical charactaristics. But a political map mostly only shows capitals and towns of states and countries. It also shows boundaries.

Answer 2

Exactly what the words say. A physical map shows the physical features of an area; mountains, lakes, rivers, Coastlines, and so on. Often the positions of large towns and roads are also shown as reference points and because these are, after all, physical features albeit artificial ones. Physical maps are usually colored according to height or vegetation. The political map shows state, county and national boundaries; lines on the map which rarely actually exist on the ground. Colours on a political map represent jurisdictions, reflecting politicl rather than physical characteristics of the area mapped.

Answer 3

political map is the map showing the inner boundary of the area or the region which the map is about and the physical map is the map showing the outer boundary of the area or the region which the map is about

Answer 4

A political map shows boundaries like countries, states, and cities, as well as human-made features like roads and capitals. A physical map depicts natural geographical features such as mountains, rivers, and landforms. Political maps focus on governmental boundaries, while physical maps highlight the Earth's physical terrain.

Answer 5

Physical map shows elevation. Political map shows all the countries.
