Question
"Ordinary nouns" are abbreviations of the map.
✓
Answer
Certain types of symbols are used to show many natural and cultural details of the land surface in a map.
These symbols are called "orthodox nouns".
The details are usually larger than the size of the map.
Not all the details from the earth's surface can be shown on the map in the same condition as their size and shape.
So all the details on the surface of the earth are represented in the map by symbolic symbols.
Thus, it is necessary to understand the stereotypes used to interpret all the details in a small area in a place description map.
Landscapes are usually shown in brown or brown, water forms, rivers, lakes, canals, seas, oceans are shown in blue, railways, black, land routes are shown in red, farm areas are shown in yellow.
In addition to color, small figures, soon English letters are also used in the noun.
For example, PO for the post office, RH for the restroom, etc. So the stereotypes are abbreviated maps.
