The map above is an example of a topographic map. A topographic map that communicates three-dimensional information about a region, such as its landscape, topography, and geological composition. The map above displays relief of Australia using shading, and shows the differences of earth material with the use of colors. To me, the shading gives the region texture. The edges of the continent has a rougher texture, thus a more rocky edges probably lined with cliffs. The middle area is a smoother texture with light brown color, showing that is flat and more desert-like.
