Answer 1

Answer:

1. It is round in shape and shows accurate areas, distances, directions and relative shape and size. A map is easy to use and portable whereas a globe is not. It is easier to identify regions in a map than in a globe. When talking of accuracy, a globe is more accurate than the map.

1/200 = x/1200

200x = 1200

x = 6 cm

If the ground distance b/w two town is 30km and the scale of the map is 1cm to 2km can statement or 1:200,000 in rf calculate the map distance

Answer 2

Answer:

It is impossible to possible to flatten round shape and scale. Therefore ,maps are more helpful than a globe.A map is a representation or a drawing of the earths surface or a part of it drawn on a flat surface according to a scale.It can be carried easily anywhere .

All maps have distortions because it is impossible to represent three= dimensional objects like the earth accurately on flat maps.Maps with no scale give a poor idea of distance and maps with no legend are frequently confusing to user.
