Looking at this worksheet, I need to identify the type of map shown in each picture. The task is part of a unit on "Maps and globes" under Social Science.
Let me examine each map one by one:
1. Top left map (USA): This map shows different colors representing elevation - brown for high mountains, green for lowlands, etc. It's showing physical features like mountains and valleys. This is a
physical map.
2. Top right map (USA): This map shows states with different colors and labels state capitals and national capital. It focuses on political boundaries like state lines. This is a
political map.
3. Bottom left map (South America): This map uses color gradients to show elevation - dark green for low areas, yellow/orange for mid-elevations, and red/brown for high mountains. It clearly shows the Andes Mountains along the west coast. This is also a
physical map.
4. Bottom middle map (South America): This map shows countries with different colors and labels country names like Brazil, Argentina, Chile. It focuses on national borders and capitals. This is a
political map.
5. Bottom right map (UK): This map shows the British Isles with different colors representing elevation - green for lowlands, brown for highlands. It shows physical terrain features. This is a
physical map.
So the pattern is:
- Physical maps show natural features like mountains, rivers, and elevation using colors
- Political maps show human-made boundaries like countries, states, and capitals
Final Answer:
Top left: Physical map
Top right: Political map
Bottom left: Physical map
Bottom middle: Political map
Bottom right: Physical map
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of worksheet types of maps.
