One of the smallest countries in Africa, Eswatini (previously known in English as Swaziland) occupies an area of only 17,364 sq. km. Despite its small size, Eswatini features a variety of landscapes. On the physical map above you see the Lubombo Mountain ridge runs along the country s border with Mozambique in the northeast. It has an altitude of around 600 m. Three major rivers, Mbuluzi, Usutu, and Ngwavuma, cut the mountains here and flow downstream through deep canyons.
The map shows that along the western border of the country with South Africa, it is rough and rugged being located on the edge of an escarpment called the Drakensberg which is the eastern part of the Great Escarpment. The average altitude here is 1,200 m. Several rivers also cut through this region forming deep gorges. The capital city of Eswatini, Mbabane is located in this Highveld region.
The United States (US) covers a total area of 9,833,520 sq. km. Of this area, the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia cover 8,080,470 sq. km. The archipelago of Hawaii has an area of 28,311 sq. km while the remaining area is part of the US territories.
The greatest east-west distance in the 48 contiguous states of the country is 4,500 km. North-south, the longest distance in the 48 contiguous states region is 2,660 km.
This physical map of the US shows the terrain of all 50 states of the USA. Higher elevation is shown in brown identifying mountain ranges such as the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. Lower elevations are indicated throughout the southeast of the country, as well as along the Eastern Seaboard. Major rivers in the country include the Mississippi, the Missouri, the Colorado, the Arkansas, and the Columbia.

th largest and the 2
nd-most populous country; that extends from the snow-capped Himalayas in the north to the tropical rain forests in the south.
As observed on the map, the Himalayas form the highest mountain range in the world, and slope southwards into a large fertile plain that covers most part of the country. The Himalayas comprises of three parallel mountain ranges including the Himadri, Himachal and Shivaliks, that extends from the Indus River in the northwest, to the Brahmaputra River in the east. All these mountain ranges are interspersed with deep canyons, plateaus and valleys. The highest point in India is Mount Kanchenjunga which rises to 28,208 ft. (8,598 m). The lowest point is the Indian Ocean (0m).
