What else can I help you with?
Which map would be bigger in size one map to scale of 1cm equals 100km or another map drawn to scale 1cm equals 50km?
if 2cm is 50km 1cm is 25km
What does it mean when you say that a map is drown to scale?
It is drawn to full size
What is the difference between a scale and key on a map?
A map scale shows the ratio between the distances on the map and the distances in reality (one inch= 10 miles, for example) whereas the map legend tells what the various symbols on the map represent (landforms, size of roadway, state capitals, etc.)
Why is the inset map drawn to a larger scale than the other map?
Aha! Mapmakers have, by customary usage among the trade, been causing confusion on the relationship between scale and size. This question is the result of confusing people when discussing cartography. In this answer, I will explain why "Why is the inset map drawn to a larger scale than the other map?"results from a common cartographical misunderstanding, and set the record straight. Map scale is a fraction where the numerator is always 1. To put it more exactly, Map scale is the ratio of map distance to the same distance in the real landscape. Another way to think about scale is to consider how much a real land area would need to be shrunk down to fit in the map display you are using. Take Australia and shrink it by an enormous number (a scale of 1/enormous) to make it small enough to fit on a map display area. If you wanted to make a map the area of the city of Sydney that would fit on the same size map display, Sydney being smaller in land area, would need to be shrunk by less, (using a map scale of 1/less than enormous). The confusion about scale began when mapmakers, who noticed that the numerator of the scale was always 1, began to leave off saying the scale numerator and, as a shortcut, refer to the scale by using just the denominator value. This hasty habit resulted in describing a map where the scale denominator is very large as a large scale map. Having created a scaled map of Sydney, you create another map showing Australia with a dot at Sydney's location to use as in index. The scale ratio for the inset map has to be a smaller fraction to appear within the main map. Thus, smaller scale maps show larger areas of land on the same size map display. That's opposite from normal use of the word size as in shoe size, where bigger sizes cover bigger areas, just the opposite of map scales. The answer is that an index map is always drawn using a smaller scale than the scale used on the main map.
What is the key on the map that tells distance on a map?
This is known as the scale.
What is the size of an area on a map as compared with the area's actual size?
The size of an area on a map compared to its actual size is known as the scale of the map. Scale is typically represented as a ratio or a graphic scale, indicating how much the map has been reduced from the real world. For example, a scale of 1:10,000 means that one unit on the map represents 10,000 of the same units in the actual world.
What do you call a scale map?
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).
What size is a 150000 scale map?
large
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 show the size of an area on a map compared with the area actual size call?
The relationship between the size of an area on a map and its actual size is represented by the map scale. The scale provides a ratio or a fraction that shows how much smaller the map is compared to the actual area being represented. It helps users understand the distance and size relationships between locations on the map and in reality.
What size is a 1 and 50000 scale map?
A 1:50,000 scale map represents a much larger area than a 1:1 scale map. To determine the size in real life, you would need to know the dimensions of the map itself.
A map scale at 175000 is considered to be what size scale?
Where does the series number on a map appear
What size is a 1 in 50000 scale map?
The scale doesn't tell you anything about the size of a map. If it's a 1:50000 scale, then the only thing you know about the map is that a pair of points that are 1 inch apart on the map are 50,000 inches apart in the real world.
What is error in shape distance or size on a map?
scale
Which part of a map shows the relationship between the actual size of a place and its size as it appears on the map?
the scale!
What indicates the size of an area that a map shows?
The scale of a map indicates the size of an area it shows. This scale can be represented as a ratio or a bar scale, helping users understand the relationship between distances on the map and the actual distances on the ground.
What part of a map tells you the difference in size between the map and real life?
The scale
