Answer:

A map is a two-dimensional drawing of the earth's surface. It can be very simple or very detailed, and it can show natural landmarks, like mountains and lakes, and also show man-made boundaries, like state lines or roads and trails.

For centuries, maps have been the primary way to record geographic information and the primary way to get around. If you want to go from point A to point B and you've never been to point B before, you get a map and follow it.

Maps are a good place for Melissa to start out. She can plan her hike by looking at maps and take one with her to help keep her from getting lost.

Answer:

Statement of a scale describes in words the distance between two places on map and same two places on ground. I is represented by fraction or in ratio which is called the representative fraction. EXAMPLE: 1/50,000 or 1: 50,000 written on map means 1cm on the map is 50,000cm on ground.

To convert map measurements to actual distance, measure the scale distance on the map and multiply by the denominator of the scale (the larger number in the ratio). e.g. two cm on a 1:25000 map equals 2x25000 = 50,000 cm or 500 meters.
