What does it mean when a map is drawn to scale?
it means the map measurements will coordinate with the measurements of the map location.
What tool usually found in the legend used to measure distance on a map?
The scale drawn on a map allows distance on the map to be measured. A scale of 1:50 000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represents 50,000 centimetres on the land.
What does not to scale' mean in a map?
"Not to scale" on a map means that the features and distances shown on the map are not accurate or proportional to their actual size or distance in the real world. This disclaimer is used when the map is a simplified representation for general reference rather than precise measurement or navigation.
Why are maps drawn to scale?
They are drawn to scale because it helps to find the correct distance between two places and also the distance to reach a place from ur position.....
Where does the gravity of the moon become stronger than that of the earth so that an object in space between the two is drawn towards the moon instead of earth?
First, this isn't a simple "statics" problem. For example, the Moon is orbiting Earth. Also the Earth-Moon distance varies (elliptical orbit). (The distances mentioned below are, strictly speaking, distances from the centres of the Earth and Moon.) However, a simple answer is: at about a tenth of the Earth-Moon distance from the Moon. Here's why: The Moon's mass is about 1/81 of the Earth's mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object. Gravitational force is inversely proportion to the square of the distance between objects. When the ratio of the distance to Moon to the distance to the Earth is 1/9 gives the "neutral gravity point". That's because 1/9 x 1/9 = 1/81. So, the place where the Moon's gravity takes over is one tenth of the Earth-Moon distance from Moon. The Moon's average distance from Earth is about 238,000 miles. That means the answer is: at about 23,800 miles from the Moon. (Remember there are other ways of looking at this problem. There is more than one "correct" answer, depending on your approach.)
What does it mean when a map is drawn to scale?
it means the map measurements will coordinate with the measurements of the map location.
Does Google Earth measure distance as Crow Flies?
In line mode the ruler is drawn as great circles (shortest possible path), which should be as a "crow flies". The ruler in Google Earth allows measurement of distances for a straight line or paths. Note for large distances (e.g. > 2000 miles) lines are drawn different than the lat-lon grid lines in Google Earth.
What shows distance on the ground compared to distance on a map?
The scale that the map has been drawn at represents actual distance. For instance: a map with a 1: 50 000 (one to fifty thousand) scale means that one centimetre measured on the map represents fifty thousand centimetres on the ground.
What transportation did William McKinley use?
McKinley had not have airplanes or automobiles, but there were railroads and steamboats for distance travel. Horse-drawn vehicles were used for shorter distances too far for walking. Cities had street-cars.
What related distance on a map to a distance on earths surface?
The scale that the map has been drawn at represents actual distance. For instance: a map with a 1: 50 000 (one to fifty thousand) scale means that one centimetre measured on the map represents fifty thousand centimetres on the ground.
How many epicentral distances must be dertirmed to locate an erahquakes epicenter?
To locate an earthquake's epicenter, data from at least three seismic stations are needed to determine the epicentral distances. Each station measures the time it takes for seismic waves to arrive, which is used to calculate the distance to the epicenter. By intersecting the circles drawn around each station based on these distances, the precise location of the epicenter can be pinpointed.
How do you find the power of magnification?
Magnification = Size drawn / Actual size
Distance between Lisbon Portugal and Washington DC?
This is an approximate direct (straight line) distance. During actual travel, this distance may change if a different flight route is chosen. The distance between the two places in miles is:3627
Why are most maps drawn to scale?
A map drawn actual size wouldn't be too convenient. Plus ... can you imagine trying to fold it ! ?
What is traditional hand drawn?
Traditional art is art made with various mediums in which are not digital. Hand drawn means that an actual person has drawn the image as opposed to it being stencilled or printed by machines.

Why are elevations drawn so vertically exaggerated that they appear many times larger than distances?
Otherwise you might not notice them.
