Exploring Different Types of Maps

The video tutorial introduces students to four types of maps: political, physical, climate, and historical. Political maps show state and national boundaries and city locations. Physical maps depict natural features like rivers, lakes, and mountains, along with elevation. Climate maps illustrate different climatic regions and temperatures.
