  11. Physical Map • Physical Maps emphasize the natural features of the earth. • This includes continents, oceans, islands, lakes, rivers, mountains, plains, and deserts. • They may also show natural boundaries.

  12. Landform Map • Landform maps are physical maps that show how the earth’s surface varies from place to place. • They use color to show mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains.

  13. Distribution Map • Distribution maps show how population, rainfall, language, and religion are distributed in parts of the world.

  14. Climate Map • The climate of a place is the weather it has season by season, year after year • Rainfall and temperature are climate’s main ingredients • Climate is affected by elevation, distance from the ocean, and latitude

  16. Land Use Resource Map These maps show how land is being used. This might refer to: • vegetation • crops being grown • forest vs. Agriculture • mines and wells • city zoning.

  17. Grid Map • This map uses grids to help find exact locations. • The grids are usually set up with letters and numbers.
