The numerical scale of a map indicates?
the relationship of distance measured on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground.
What is the difference between a latitude-longitude map and a military grid reference system map?
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.
If a measured distance of 10 inches on a map represents an actual distance of 5 miles what is the fractional scale of the map?
(63360 x 5in) / 10in on map = 31,680 ==> the fraction scale is 1:31,680
What shows distance on the ground compared to distance on a map?
The scale that the map has been drawn at represents actual distance. For instance: a map with a 1: 50 000 (one to fifty thousand) scale means that one centimetre measured on the map represents fifty thousand centimetres on the ground.
What feature on a map shows the ratio of map distance to actually distance on earth?
It is the map's scale which is printed as part of the map's legend. For instance, a map with a 1:25,000 means that 1 centimetre measured on the map, represents 25,000 centimetres or 250 metres on the ground.
What are the paralles of latitude?
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
In which way is latitude measured on a map or globe?
Latitude is measured on a map or globe in degrees, with the equator being 0 degrees and the North and South Poles being 90 degrees north and south, respectively.
How is a meridian shown on a map?
A line running north and south and measured in degrees.
What is the measured diamater of the north and south pole?
Zero, they are pinpoints on a map, nothing else.
What is a scale of a map?
Is the relationship between the distance measured on the map to the actual distance on the ground
Blank is how far around the map the star is?
Declination, which is measured as an angle, north is positive and south is negative. The declination of a star etc. is also the latitude at which the star passes overhead.
The numerical scale of a map indicates?
the relationship of distance measured on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground.
What are north south lines on a map that shows distance from the prime meridian?
The north-south lines on a map that show distance from the prime meridian are called lines of longitude or meridians. They help determine a location's east-west position on the Earth's surface. The prime meridian itself is designated as 0 degrees longitude, and lines to the east and west are measured in degrees up to 180.
Lines on a map that show distances north and south of the equator?
lines of latitude
Which part of the map shoes distance?
The scale shows the comparison of a measured distance on the map - to the real-life distance it represents.
What distance North or south on a map can be measure?
lines of latitude
What does a line of latitude mean?
The horizontal lines on a map or globe that indicate distance north or south of the Equator.
