Answers
Explanation:
A map is a representation or a drawing of the earth’s surface, or a part of it, on a flat surface, according to a scale. It could be hand drawn or printed. It helps us identify the places and locations within an area helping us to navigate from one place to another.
Maps are of several types. They are mainly classified into:
- Physical or Relief Maps: These show natural features of the earth.
- Political Maps: These maps show the cities, town and villages, countries and states of the world with their boundaries.
- Thematic Maps: These maps focus on specific information like the map of a rainfall, roads, tourist places.
Answer:
1. A political map focuses on boundaries between entities, like countries, states or counties. They are generally brighter colors to easily distinguish the boundaries. A physical map focuses on the geography of the area and will often have shaded relief to show the mountains and valleys.
2.Small scale maps show a larger geographic area with few details on them. The RF scale of a small scale map would have a much larger number to the right of the colon such as 1 : 1,000,000. Small scale maps are used to show the extent of an entire country, region, or continent.
