Hello mate
Explanation:
Ans 1 :-
There are three Components of Maps – distance, direction and symbol. Maps are drawings, which reduce the entire world or a part of it to fit on a sheet of paper. Or we can say maps are drawn to reduced scales.
Ans 2 :-
North, east, south, and west are the four cardinal directions, often marked by the initials N, E, S, and W. East and west are at right angles to north and south.
Ans 3:-
Map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, on a 1:100000 scale map, 1cm on the map equals 1km on the ground. For example, a 1:100000 scale map is considered a larger scale than a 1:250000 scale map.
Ans 4 :-
There are two types of a map based on scale – Large scale map and small scale map. A map is a representation or a drawing of the earth's surface or a part of it drawn on a flat surface according to a scale. It is impossible to flatten a round shape and scale it. Therefore, maps are more helpful than a globe.
Ans 5 :-
A map is a representation or a drawing of the earth's surface or a part of it drawn on a flat surface according to a scale. A plan is a drawing of a small area on a large scale. A Plan gives confined information about a certain small area.
Ans 6 :-
The large scale maps provide detailed information. . So symbols are used to represent various features in maps. With their help, it is easier and quicker to read and understand the maps.
Answer:
(A)There are three Components of Maps – distance, direction and symbol.
(B)North, east, south, and west are the four cardinal directions.
(c)Map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground.
(D)Maps provide more information than a globe. A globe can be useful when we want to study the earth as a whole. But when we want to study only a part of the earth, as about a country or a state, globe is of little help. In such a situation only maps are useful.
(E)A map is a representation or a drawing of the earth's surface or a part of it drawn on a flat surface according to a scale. A plan is a drawing of a small area on a large scale. A Plan gives confined information about a certain small area.
