What shows the relationship between distances on the map and on the corresponding distances on earths surfaces?

Answer 1

The scale printed on a map will show distances on the map and on the ground. For instance: a map with a scale of 1:50000 (1 in 50,000) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represents 50,000 centimetres on the ground.

Answer 2

The "scale" of a map tells you how the map displays the actual distance. This is often represented as part of the map keyor in the map legend.

So if the scale is 1 to 10000, the real distance is 10000 times greater than what the map shows. One cm on the map would be 10000 centimeters (1 kilometer) in the real world. A scale may also be indicated by a scale bar, showing, for example, miles per inch or kilometers per centimeter.

The "scale" of a map tells how distances on the map relate to distances on the Earth. It is often expressed as a ratio (e.g. 1:160,000) or measure (1 cm = 300 km), and/or by a bar length showing the length equivalent to some value (e.g. 10 mi / 50 mi).

The mileage or distance markers are in the maps legend, which should be in one of the corners. Typically the legend is in the lower left or lower right corner of the map. Also, on most maps and atlases, there will be mileage notes between points on the map. You can add these markers together to figure out how far the distance is between any two (or more) points.

Answer 3

This is called the scale of a map, and is commonly represented as miles to an inch (US) or kilometers per centimeter (SI).

This can also be expressed as a ratio, for example 1:16,000,000 as might be found in a world atlas. This would be the same as 160 km/cm.

Answer 4

The SCALE of the map indicates the relationship between lengths measured on a map and the actual distances.

It can indicate the ratio of distances (e.g. 1:10000) or the equivalent actual distance for an inch or centimeter as measured on the map, often providing a measurement bar for various distances.

Answer 5

The scale on a map shows how to work out the real distance.

The scale is usually shown in the bottom right corner of the map.

For example, the scale may be 1 inch equals 1 mile.

So for every inch on the map it relates to 1 mile in the real world.

Answer 6

The relationship on a map of real miles to inches or fractions of an inch is called a "scale". A scale is always a part of a map; it is not a separate map.
