What are Maps?

• A. A type of caption.
• B. Illustrations of land or geographic features.
• C. Charts showing data.
• D. Lists of bullet points.

Answer: (B)

Maps are illustrations that represent lands and geographic features. They show where places are in relation to each other on the Earth's surface, using symbols, colors, and labels to indicate features like rivers, mountains, borders, and roads. A map includes tools like a legend and scale to help you read distances and understand what the symbols mean, making it easier to navigate or study a region. This explanation fits best because maps convey spatial relationships and geographic information, whereas captions are short text under an image, charts display data graphically, and bullet lists present items in order without showing location or terrain.
