Describe any two ways of representing a map scale. |
|
Answer» The map scale can be represented as : (a) Verbal or statement scale — The scale is stated in words. The units are usually mentioned in this type of scale, for example, 1 cm= 10 km or 1 cm to 10 km. It means that 1 cm on the map is equal to 10 km on the ground. (b) Graphical or linear scale — This consists of a straight line which is divided into lengths that represent given distances on the earth’s surface. |
