Question

Differentiate between a small scale and large scale

Answer 1

Large Scale Maps

(i) Large scale maps show a small area in greater detail.

(ii) They are guide maps or topo­graphic maps.

(iii) Details of cities, towns, villages are shown.

(iv) The scale may be 1 cm = 50 m or 1 km.

Small Scale Maps

(i) Small scale maps show a larger area in less detail.

(ii) They are wall maps, or atlas maps.

(iii) They show important features like mountains, plateaus, con­tinents and countries.

(iv) Scale may be 1 cm = 100 km.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A 'large' scale map is one in which a given part of the Earth is represented by a large area on the map. Large scale maps generally show more detail than small scale maps because at a large scale there is more space on the map in which to show features. Large scale maps are typically used to show site plans, local areas, neighborhoods, towns etc. 1:2,500 is an example of a large scale.

A 'small' scale map is one in which a given part of the Earth is represented by a small area on the map. Small scale maps generally show less detail than large scale maps, but cover large parts of the Earth. Maps with regional, national, and international extents typically have small scales, such as 1:1,000,000 (see Figure 2). Large scale maps typically show more detail than small scale maps, whereas on smaller scale maps there is simply not enough room to show all the available detail, so features such as streams and roads often have to be represented as single lines, and area features like cities, have to be shown as points. This is called generalization.
