The scale on a map is how far it takes you to get there for example in my class we are learning all about KFC and we have to get a map on it the scale on the map would be that it takes you 500 kilometers to get there by foot, car. bus or train.
The answer depends on the scale of the map.The answer depends on the scale of the map.The answer depends on the scale of the map.The answer depends on the scale of the map.
A large scale map shows you the distanct between things on a map and on the real eaths surface.
The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles scale.
I just call it a map. Scale is the size of the map relative to the reality. If you draw a map of your bedroom that is the same size as your bedroom, it has a scale of 1:1. I use a map of my town that is 1:100,000 (one centimetre equals one kilometre).
A map scale is a bar with the real measurement on the top, and the scale to the country on the bottom. I doubt this helps, but hey, maybe.
Any map not drawn to scale must/will indicate that is it not drawn to scale and will also be marked 'for information only'. For such map projections, the concept of Point Scale is introduced which will strive to keep the scale within narrow bounds and will clearly indicate as such on the map itself
The three fundamental properties are; Map Scale, Map Projections, and Symbols on Maps. I hope this is useful I found it in my Human Geography text book.
Map Projections - 1977 was released on: USA: 1977
Map makers are called cartographers. There are 3 generally accepted types of map projections. These are cylindrical projections, conic projects and planar projections.
distortion
The most common map projections are based on three main geometric shapes: 1) Sphere to a Plane 2) Cylindrical Projections, 3) Conic Projections.
A map projection simply is a representation of the round, 3D surface of the earth onto a flat, 2D map. There are different map projections such as Mercator and Robinson each of which have advantages and disadvantages.The appropriate projection for a map depends on the scale of the map and the purposes for which it will be used. For example, a Mercator projection has straight rhumb lines and is therefore excellent for navigation, because compass courses are easy to determine, but there is distortion near the poles.
Distortion
Map are projections in a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of the locations on the surface of a sphere. Map projections distort the surface in a little bi, depending on the purpose of the map.
