Physical map will show mountain ranges and lakes where as a political map will show the outlines of states/countries (and will probably have them in diffrent colors) and maybe some large lakes especially if they are apart of the boarder.

Answer by Hannah
A physical map shows land formations, like lakes and mountains. A political map shows the outlines of states and countries and where cities are.
Just like in your other question.

A physical map, in genetics, tells you how much DNA separates two genes and is measured in basepairs, as opposed to a genetic map which tells you the positions of genes in relation to each other based on the frequency of crossing overs. The distance of a physical map is measured by what is called base pairs.


POLITICAL MAP

Political maps are designed to show governmental boundaries of countries, states, and counties, the location of major cities, and they usually include significant bodies of water. Like the sample above, bright colors are often used to help the user find the borders.

Answer by Kevin
Physical maps

illustrate the physical features of an area, such as the mountains, rivers and lakes. The water is usually shown in blue. Colors are used to show relief—differences in land elevations. Green is typically used at lower elevations, and orange or brown indicate higher elevations.

Political maps

do not show physical features. Instead, they indicate state and national boundaries and capital and major cities. A capital city is usually marked with a star within a circle.
