Answer:

The difference between sketch and Atlas map is explained below.

Explanation:

Atlas Map

An atlas is a collection of maps. An atlas usually contains a map of the earth or regions of the earth such as Europe and Asia. Atlas is traditionally in book form (i.e. bound), but today it can also be found in multimedia formats. Many atlases include maps of geographic features, political boundaries, social, religious, economic, and geopolitical statistics. Thus, an atlas may contain different types of maps, such as physical maps, road maps, climatic maps, thematic maps, and political maps.

The word "Atlas" is said to be derived from the Greek mythological figure Atlas, who was supposed to hold the earth as punishment for the gods. The first known atlas belongs to the Greco-Roman geographer Ptolemy Ptolemy. However, it was Abraham Ortelius who unveiled the first modern atlas in 1570. It was known as Theatrum Orbis Terravrm (Theatre of the World).

Sketch map

A Sketch map is a graphic representation of an area of ​​the earth. Maps show the shape and location of various geographic regions, countries, political boundaries, geographic features such as mountains and deserts, or artificial features such as roads and buildings.  Maps can be classified into different types according to their purpose and content.
