Which of the following options is the correct word for "Map showing the distribution of forest"?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Thematic map

A Thematic Map is a type of map specifically designed to highlight a particular theme or subject area, such as the distribution of forests, population density, rainfall, or soil types.
A map showing forest distribution is an example of a thematic map, as it focuses on a specific theme — the spatial extent of forests.

Additional Information:

• Forest ecology: The study of interactions between forest organisms and their environment, not a map type.
• Topography: Refers to maps that depict the physical features of the terrain, such as mountains, valleys, and elevations, but not forest distribution.
• Pedology: The scientific study of soils, unrelated to maps showing forest distribution.
