Answer:

Physical maps typically give the viewer a general idea of how the landscape is. For example, it gives a general location of where mountains, deserts, rainforests, oceans, and other landforms are located at based on longitude latitude. Political Maps, on the other hand, gives a generalized to more specific idea of how each state/region votes for. In the United States, it is typically shown as red/blue, as in Republican-leaning/Democratic-leaning. There is no natural land form shown.
