Maps can be classified into three main scale types: large-scale, medium-scale, and small-scale. Large-scale maps show a smaller area with greater detail, making them useful for local navigation. Medium-scale maps provide a balance between detail and area coverage, suitable for regional studies. Small-scale maps cover larger areas with less detail, typically used for broader overviews, such as world maps.
Linear, ratio, and vertical
There are generally three types of scales in geography: map scale, geographical scale, and cartographic scale. Map scale refers to the relationship between a distance on a map and the actual distance on Earth. Geographical scale refers to the level of geographical area being studied, from local to global. Cartographic scale refers to the level of detail and accuracy represented on a map.
The three types of map scales are linear scale (representing distances as a ratio such as 1:50,000), verbal scale (describing distances in words like "1 inch represents 1 mile"), and graphic scale (using a line marked with distances on the map).

The four main properties of a map are scale (the ratio of distance on the map to the actual distance), orientation (the direction which the map is facing), legend (key for interpreting symbols and colors on the map), and title (the description or name of the map).
Linear, ratio, and vertical
It depends on the particular map's scale.

The three map scales are small scale, medium scale, and large scale. Small scale maps cover large areas with less detail, medium scale maps cover regions with more detail, and large scale maps cover smaller areas with the most detail.
There are generally three types of scales in geography: map scale, geographical scale, and cartographic scale. Map scale refers to the relationship between a distance on a map and the actual distance on Earth. Geographical scale refers to the level of geographical area being studied, from local to global. Cartographic scale refers to the level of detail and accuracy represented on a map.
That depends entirely upon the scale of the map in question.

It depends on the scale of the map you're looking at in the atlas. (That's why the scale is always printed somewhere on the map.)
The three ways of expressing scale are verbal scale, graphic scale, and numerical scale. A verbal scale describes the relationship between map distance and ground distance in words, such as "1 inch equals 1 mile." A graphic scale uses a line or bar to visually represent distances on the map. A numerical scale, often shown as a ratio or fraction (e.g., 1:50,000), indicates how many units on the map correspond to a specific number of units in reality.
The scale of a map is decreased to show the representation of actual miles to the distance found on a map. If three fourths of an inch on a map was equal to 750 miles, an inch on the maps scale would equal 1,000 miles.
