Question

Name the features shown in blue, green, and brown colours on a map.

Answer 1

• Blue: Depicts all perennial water bodies such as rivers, streams, wells, tanks, ponds, lakes, seas, oceans, and canals.
• Green: Shows all vegetation and forested areas, including woodlands, orchards, scattered trees, and scrubs. On some general physical maps, green is also used to represent lowlands or plains.
• Brown: Is used for landforms and relief features. This includes hills, mountains, plateaus, sandhills, sand dunes, stony waste, and barren rocky areas.
