A. Map with Hollywood starsExplanation
A map with Hollywood stars does not exist geographically speaking because Hollywood stars are not physical entities that can be located on a map.

Therefore, it is not possible to create a map that shows the distribution or location of Hollywood stars.Rate this question:

It is designed to provide information about the political boundaries and major urban areas of a region or the entire world. This map does not include topographic features like mountains or rivers, nor does it provide information about specific themes or topics. Therefore, a political map is the most appropriate choice for displaying only countries, national borders, and cities.Rate this question:

-
Physical map

Correct Answer
A. Blank & outline mapExplanation
A blank & outline map is the correct answer because it allows you to draw on the map yourself. This type of map provides a basic outline of geographic features and boundaries, but does not include any pre-drawn details such as physical or political features. By drawing on a blank & outline map, you can actively engage in learning geography by labeling and marking different locations, landmarks, and other relevant information. This hands-on approach helps in developing a better understanding and memory of geographical concepts.Rate this question:
