Mapping Project





1) Include picture of poster and 3D map
2) Compare all three of your maps
a) How do physical features, climate and elevation relate to each other?
All the physical features of our maps were of course in India so therefore they were all very similar. For example, even though they were different kinds of maps, physical features map (3D map), climate map, and elevation map. In ,each we had the same places marked such as the Thar Desert, Indus and Ganges rivers and the Himalayas. In our climate map we mainly focused on what sort of weather and the temperatures that it were in different Indian areas, whereas on our 3D map and elevation map we focused on the hight of the different areas of India.

b) What conclusions can you draw?
(Think about natural resources, climate/weather, and human settlement.)
To conclude I think that India definitely does have a wide variety when it comes to the natural recourses, elevation, and climate/weather. Because when you look at our map and other maps we had many different areas bordered off by different features. Also when looking our different maps i started to realize why people settled where they did, because you wouldn't want to settle in the middle of the Thar Desert but in the areas that provided a wide variety of recourses such as by a river like in areas like New Deli.
