What are the two different methods of representing scale on a map?

One common method of representing scale on a map is a ratio such as 1:24,000 (the current scale for the USGS 7.5 min. topographic series) which indicates that one unit if length (mm, cm, inch, etc...) on the map is equal to 24,000 of the same unit of length (mm, cm, inch, etc...) in real life. For example, 1 inch on a map with a scale of 1:24,000 is equal to 24,000 inches of horizontal distance on the ground in real life.

The second common method of representing scale on a map is using a scale bar which is a graphical representation of some set of distances. The distances in a scale bar are generally real life distances as you would experience them if you were walking a straight line between two points (i.e. they are usually in units of feet, meters, kilometers, miles, etc...). A scale bar can be used to measure a distance on the map in terms of how far it is in real life, the format is similar to a ruler.

If you go to Google Images and look up MAP SCALE BAR several good examples will come up. Hope this helps!

How does a sea kayak differ from a lake or river kayak?

A Sea kayak differs from a lake or river kayak in that it is longer, therefore faster. Also the hull width is generally narrower than a lake kayak, making them less stable but in turn faster.

Sea Kayaks are designed for longer distance travel on the ocean or lakes. The longer the kayak the faster the boat. Sea Kayaks generally range in length from 14-18 feet in length.

Lake kayaks are designed for shorter trips, generally they are wider - this causes them to be more stable. They range in length from 9-14 feet.

River Kayaks are shorter, this causes them to be slower but more maneuverable so that they can avoid rocks and holes. There are two main types of river kayaks, playboats and creek boats. Playboats used on rivers and are the preferred boat to do tricks in. They are shorter than creek boats and have a flat bottom. Creek boats are best in narrow creeks with a lot of rocks. They have round bottoms in order to slide off the rocks.

How do i Remove aluminum oxide from aluminum?

Trouble with aluminum is that it will oxidize quickly in normal atmosphere, so it won't really stay oxide free very long. But as far as removing the oxide there are several options:

- fine sand-paper

- stainless steel wire brush.

- Brillo pads

- Media(sand) blastin

Ther might be some etching solution that's powerful enough, but I've never tried that.
