Topographic Map

http://www.climate4you.com/EuropeClimate.htm

Topographic maps are maps that represent the different elevations a certain location has. There are many different ways of depicting change in elevation including contour lines and the use of colors. The map I chose is a topographic map of Europe. The change in elevation is shown by the different colors, blue being highest elevation and green being the lowest elevation. By looking at the map, the Alps are easily seen.
