Explanation:

There are three Components of Maps – distance, direction and

symbol.

DISTANCE

 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. But this reduction is done very

carefully so that the distance between the places is real. It

can only be possible when a small distance on paper

represents a large distance on the ground.

 Therefore, a scale is chosen for this purpose. Scale is the

ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the

distance shown on the map.

 For example, the distance between your school and your

home is 10 km. If you show this 10 km. distance by 2 cm on

a map, it means, 1 cm on the map will show 5 km. on the

ground. The scale of your drawing will be 1cm = 5 km.

 Thus, scale is very important in any map. If you know the

scale, you will be able to calculate the distance between any

two places on a map.

 When large areas like continents or countries are to be

shown on a paper, then we use a small scale. For example 5

cm. on the map shows 500 km. of the ground. It is called a

small scale map.

 When a small area like your village or town is to be shown

on paper, then we use a large scale that is 5 cm. on the map

shows 500 metres only on the ground. It is called a large

scale map.

 Large scale maps give more information than small scale

maps.

DIRECTION

 Most maps contain an arrow marked with the letter ‘N’ at

the upper right hand corner. This arrow shows the northern

direction. It is called the north line.
