Maps		Globes

2.	Map shows continents, countries, cities, neighbourhood and landforms.	Globe shows the shape, size and location  of the continents and water bodies.

4.	Maps are easier to carry	. Globes are difficult to carry.
5.	Maps are very useful to depict areas in detail.	Globes do not show details of landforms, location of small towns and other such information.

              Q5) Differentiate between physical and political maps.

              Ans:

	Political maps	Physical maps
1.	Political maps show political boundaries of countries, states, cities and other political divisions.	Physical maps show physical features like mountains, valleys, plateaus, plains, rivers and seas.

                 Q6) Why are symbols used on a map? 

                         Ans.
                     In a map there is not enough space to show the true shape of everything. 

                     So we use symbols to show cities, houses, bridges, trees, etc. 

                     Symbols save space and make the map easier to read.
