Question

Give reasons:
(a) A map is more accurate than a globe.
(b) A verbal scale is not as popular as a linear scale.
(c) Pole Star is useful in finding directions.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) A map is more accurate than a globe because a map is graphically representation of the whole or the part of the earth.

(b) A verbal scale is not as popular as a linear scale because in verbal scale the units of distance are mentioned in the map. ... this means that 1 cm on the map corresponds to a distance of 100km on the ground. but in the linear scale the units of distance are not mentioned. as a linear scale helps in direct measurement of distance on a map without providing the units of distance.

(c) Pole star's Location is just around the Earth's north pole. So it tends to be in the north direction so it is helpful in finding direction.
