00:00Types of Maps Hi kids, I am Knowhow.
00:06Let us have fun learning about different types of maps today.
00:13There are mainly three types of maps to show different features of a place.
00:19Physical or relief maps, political maps and thematic maps.
00:27The map that we see here is a physical map.
00:32Physical maps show the physical features of an area, such as the mountains, rivers and
00:39lakes, plateau, etc. by using colors.
00:44The water is shown in blue, green is used for showing plain areas, brown is used for
00:53showing mountains or hills.
00:57The map shown here is a political map.
01:03Political maps show the states, national boundaries, capital and major cities of a country.
01:11The map shown here is a thematic map.
01:16Thematic maps give details about different aspects of different places such as weather,
01:22transport, tourist attractions, etc.
01:26They therefore cover a certain theme or topic.
01:31I hope you all had as much fun as I did learning about different types of maps.
01:39I am sure the next time you see a map, you will be able to tell what type of a map it
01:45is.
01:46Till we meet again, keep learning kids!
