उत्तर
Colours play a significant role in maps. They make maps attractive to look at and easy to understand and interpret. On physical maps, the different colours are conventionally used in this way:
- Blue: water bodies such as oceans, seas, bays, gulfs, lakes, rivers, streams.
- Green: lowlands or plains, both coastal and those built by rivers.
- Brown: hills, mountains, plateaux.
- Yellow: hot deserts.
- White: cold deserts, snow-covered regions.
