What do topographic maps show? What fluvial processes are related to flood events? What does runoff do in the water cycle? How do topographic maps differ from other maps? What type of wave causes coastal erosion? What is soil liquefaction?
A crucial note to keep in mind is that physical and political maps are both very common but very different. For context, if the maps you’re looking at provide a visual representation of the natural landscape (like landforms, bodies of water, elevation, vegetation, etc) those arephysical map...
Different maps incorporate different attributes. For example: Physical maps illustrate landforms like mountains, deserts and lakes. With a physical map, you can get a basic sense of what all or part of the planet looks like and what its physical features are. Physical maps usually show ...
What are geological landforms? What is the difference between geology and petrology? What is an epoch in geology? What are inclusions in geology? What is superposition in geology? How are subsurface geology maps used? What are geological features?
A landscape includes the physical elements of geophysically defined landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including different forms of land use, buildings,...
Topography is a broad term used to describe the detailed study of the Earth's surface. This includes landforms such as mountains and valleys as well as features such as rivers and roads. It can also include the surface of other planets, the moon, asteroi

Below we first explain the algorithm precisely, then explain how it maps onto a physical definition of dune dimensions. First, an auto-correlation Rη of a 322-km2 tile of ASTER topography η(λ, ϕ) (where λ is longitude and ϕ is latitude) is created using FFT (blue-red shaded...
Today, the cultural landscapes of both investigated regions are influenced by complex disturbance regimes and undergo significant changes. Parallel to the ongoing disturbances caused by mining, additional effects of global change processes become obvious, too. In land-use maps “mineral extraction sites”...
When planning landscaping, a long walk, or a ski hill it is useful to know the elevation changes in the area you are looking at. Topographic maps show changed in elevation with regular lines to show how quickly or slowly the elevation changes....
