To show country borders and capital cities, which map would you use?

• A. Political Map
• B. Topographic Map
• C. Weather map
• D. Latitude (Horizontal)

Answer: (A)

To show country borders and capital cities, you would use a political map. Political maps are designed to display human geography—where borders between countries or states are and where major settlements, especially capitals, are located. They emphasize political boundaries and city names rather than natural features. In contrast, a topographic map highlights elevation and terrain, a weather map shows atmospheric conditions, and latitude refers to a coordinate line rather than a type of map. So a political map is the best choice for illustrating borders and capitals.
