Which map shows configuration on the earth's surface called Relief and natural features such as water bodies, vegetation, and roads and buildings?

• A. Thematic Map
• B. Geologic Map
• C. Cadastral Map
• D. Topographic Map

Answer: (D)

Topographic maps portray the earth's surface with relief and natural features such as water bodies, vegetation, and roads and buildings. They convey elevation differences through contour lines and shading, letting you read the terrain. They also include symbols for lakes, rivers, forests, and for roads and built structures, giving a complete sense of both the landscape and how it’s used. Other map types focus on different aspects: thematic maps show a single data theme across an area, geologic maps depict rock types and geological formations, and cadastral maps outline land parcels and ownership. For depicting both relief and the mix of natural and human-made features, this type of map is the most fitting.
