What tool on a map helps you determine how far apart two places are?
The scale on the map shows you how to relate distance on the map to real distance.
What do the 2 axes on a map tell you?
The axes (latitude and longitude) are used to determine the location of a place or thing on the map.
What feature found on a map helps determine orientation?
compass rose or north arrrow
What is used on a planimetric map is used to determine the actual distance between two points.?
scale
What is the definition of map projection?
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.
When using a map you use this to determine its orientation?
A device that is used to determine orientation on a map is a compass rose. The type of map projection that is most helpful in the navigation of ships is a Mercator map.
What helps you determine distances on a map?
The scale of a map indicates the relationship of actual distances to lengths measured on the map.
Why is it helpful to have a compass rose on a map?
to determine what direction to go or observe when studying the map
What type of map would one use to determine the highest point in Louisiana is located?
Relief map
How can you determine the direction on a map without a compass rose?
You can determine the direction on a map without a compass rose by using cardinal direction.
What tool on a map helps you determine how far apart two places are?
The scale on the map shows you how to relate distance on the map to real distance.
How can you determine direction on a map that does not have a compass rose?
by the cardinal directions
What do you use to determine the exact location on a map?
latitude longitude
Why do you need a scale on a map and how do you use it?
The scale of the map is the ratio between the distance on the map compared with the distance on the ground. It is used to determine the "real world" distance from the map distance.
What do the 2 axes on a map tell you?
The axes (latitude and longitude) are used to determine the location of a place or thing on the map.
How did map makers in the early 1800'S determine the shape and border of a state in the US map?
hi how ya coin
What two variables do you need to know to determine the gradient between two points on a map?
The height of the land, and the scale of the map
