ᴀɴꜱᴡᴇʀ :

➯ There are three Components of Maps – distance, direction and symbol.

❥ DISTANCE

➻ Maps are drawings, which reduce the entire world or a part of it to fit on a sheet of paper. Or we can say maps are drawn to reduced scales. But this reduction is done very carefully so that the distance between the places is real. It can only be possible when a small distance on paper represents a large distance on the ground.

➻ Therefore, a scale is chosen for this purpose. Scale is the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on the map.

❥ DIRECTION

➻ Most maps contain an arrow marked with the letter ‘N’ at the upper right hand corner. This arrow shows the northern direction. It is called the north line.

➻ When you know the north, you can find out other directions, for example east, west and south. There are four major directions, North, South, East and West .They are called cardinal points.

❥ SYMBOLS

➻ It is the third important component of a map.

➻ It is not possible to draw on a map the actual shape and size of different features such as buildings, roads, bridges, trees, railway lines or a well.

Hope it helps uhh !
