The relationship between the size of an area on a map and its actual size on the earth's surface is called the?
scale of the map. The scale of a map can be represented as a ratio, such as 1:10,000, indicating how much the distances on the map are reduced from the actual distances on the earth's surface.
What ration of the distanceon a map to the actual distance on earths surface is called?
The ratio of the distance on the map to the actual distance on the Earth's surface is called the scale of the map. It indicates how much smaller the features on the map are compared to their actual size on the ground.
What feature is distorted on an equal area map?
Landmasses , map projections that show the correct size of landmasses are called equal-area maps. In order to show the correct size of the landmasses, the map usually distort shapes . This distortion is usually greater at the edges of the map and less at the center
When A map which uses a special transformation so that the areas of states reflect population size it is called what?
That type of map is called a cartogram. It distorts the geographical boundaries of areas based on a certain variable, such as population size, to represent data more accurately.
What is the section of map that is blown up to increase the size?
The section of a map that is enlarged for a closer view is called an inset. Insets are often used to provide more detail in a specific area without affecting the scale of the main map.
What is the difference between size on map and real size?
This is called scale. Every map is drawn to a certain scale (which is the relationship between the distance on the map and the corresponding distance in reality). The map scale is indicated normally as a ratio. For example 1:1,000,000. This means that 1cm on the map (for example) relates to 1,000,000cm (10km) in reality.
Does an equal-area map or a mercator map show the true size of Australia?
A equal-area map shows the "true" size of Australia.
