As brave explorers of the realm, you’ve been assigned a crucial mission to find the legendary Ancient Relic, a valuable artifact hidden deep within a land filled with challenges. To succeed, you must navigate through three trials using one of three types of maps: Political, Physical, or Thematic. Your choices will determine whether you find the Ancient Relic!
Trial 1: The Borders of the Kingdoms- Clue: The Ancient Relic is hidden somewhere within a land divided by several kingdoms. To avoid entering enemy territories, which map will help you see the borders of these kingdoms?
Trial 2: The Rugged Mountain Range - Clue: Your path leads you through a rugged mountain range, where the terrain is uneven and challenging. You need to understand the land's features to navigate safely. Which map will show you the details of the mountains and valleys?
Trial 3: The Hidden Valley of the Relic - Clue: You’ve arrived at the final challenge! The Ancient Relic is concealed in a secret valley at the meeting point of three kingdoms. To find it, you need to understand the special features of the land, such as the climate or resources. Which map will help you locate the valley based on these characteristics?

Physical maps show the natural features of Earth, such as mountains, valleys, rivers, and oceans. On physical maps, differences in elevation, or height, are indicated by color. The map legend explains what each color means.
Political maps show human-made borders or units, such as countries, states, and regions. Colors are often used to separate different units and make these maps easier to read.
Thematic maps are also called special purpose maps and focus on a specific subject area or type of information. For example, a special purpose map might focus on a state's economic activity, the languages spoken in a country, or the average rainfall in a particular region. This information is often represented in a choropleth map, which uses different colors and shades to show data.
