    1. On a physical map, colours represent different elevations and features:

      • Green indicates lowlands or plains
      • Yellow shows higher plains or plateaus
      • Brown represents hills and mountains
      • Dark brown or white indicates very high peaks
      • Blue is used for rivers, seas, lakes and oceans
        These colours help us understand the topography, such as which areas are flat, elevated or mountainous. The legend on the map explains what each colour and symbol stands for.
