identifies all landforms
and bodies of water that
can be found in different
parts of the earth.
34.
35.
36. 2. Topography Map – It is somewhat
similar to the Physical Map for showing
different landforms and bodies of water;
but instead of colors, contour lines are

changes in the landscape of the earth
features.
37.
38. 3. Thematic Map – More than the usual
details of lands and bodies of water, it
