    Physical Maps

    A physical map shows the natural features and landforms of a certain place. This includes deserts, mountains, plains, valleys, and more. Important and large areas are named on a physical map, including areas above and below sea level. The most common colors used on this type of map are blue, green, and brown. Physical maps are often used by pilots and mountain climbers. These maps are helpful because they help them determine their elevation.
