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. == == Exactly what the words say.

Physical* Physical maps show the features of the map. Lakes, mountains, etc. Political maps show the boundaries of the countries/states. They also name them.
Geographical, physical, and political maps
Both physical and political maps show the outlines of land and sea. Political maps show human made features - countries, states, cities, roads, railways, ferry routes, etc. Physical maps show natural features such as mountains, rivers, sea depth, etc. Most common maps are actually combinations showing both physical and political features.
it's usually a map were all the lakes, sea, rivers, mountains, plateaus, and etc are at
Physical maps show geographical features like mountains and rivers. Political maps display borders, cities, and countries. Topographic maps combine physical and cultural features, showing elevation and man-made structures.
i think what you are trying to ask is, "What is the difference between physical and political maps." The difference between the two is that physical is terrain and political is location and cities.
Physical maps show physical and geologic features such as rivers and mountains. Political maps show artificial boundaries such as state lines and national borders.
My thinking is that physical and political maps both have labels, labeling the cities, countries, or important areas.

the difference between a political and physical map is that political maps are the imaginary boundaries (ex. states boundary for ct is a political boundary) and a physical map shows rivers, bodies of water, mountains, ect. (ex. map of rivers is a phsical map.
A physical map shows geographical features such as mountains, rivers, and deserts, while a political map shows boundaries, cities, and countries.Physical maps focus on natural landforms, while political maps highlight human-made boundaries and locations.
A physical map shows natural features of the Earth such as mountains, rivers, and deserts, while a political map shows boundaries, cities, and countries. Physical maps focus on geography and topography, whereas political maps focus on human-made elements like boundaries and administrative divisions.

Shows states and cities.

a physical map shows the land features, a political map shows boundaries and major city's, and thematic maps have a theme to them.
