9. Relief Maps
   • Depiction of elevation and terrain features (e.g., mountains, valleys)
   • Use in risk assessment (e.g., flood-prone areas)
10. Choropleth Maps and Classification Systems
    • Use of choropleth maps for representing density or distribution (e.g., population, income inequality)
    • Equal-interval vs. quantile classification and their impact on data interpretation
11. Map Applications
