Question

State any three importance of conventional signs and symbol

Answer 1

Conventional symbols are widely accepted signs or sign systems which
signify an idea or concept. They represent different features on a map and are
not drawn to scale. They are important because:

1. It is easy and more clear to use a map which has symbols.

2. Symbols can be used to depict features like cities, roads and railways.

3. A map is a useless tool without symbols. Symbols convey the information
provided by the map.
