What is the difference between sketch, plan and map?The best answer will be marked as brainliest

Answer 1

a)A map is a visual representation of an area—a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes. 

Plans are a set of two-dimensional diagrams or drawings used to describe a place or object, or to communicate building or fabrication instructions. Usually plans are drawn or printed on paper, but they can take the form of a digital file. 


(b) Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or imagined, without regard to context or scale; e.g. Brain mapping, DNA mapping, and extra-terrestrial mapping. 

Plans are often for technical purposes such as architecture, engineering, or planning. Their purpose in these disciplines is to accurately and unambiguously capture all the geometric features of a site, building, product or component. Plans can also be for presentation or orientation purposes, and as such are often less detailed versions of the former. The end goal of plans is either to portray an existing place or object, or to convey enough information to allow a builder or manufacturer to realize a design. 

(c)Many but not all maps are drawn to a scale, allowing the reader to infer the actual sizes of, and distances between, depicted objects. A larger scale shows more detail, thus requiring a larger map to show the same area. 

Plans are usually scale drawings, meaning that the plans are drawn at specific ratio relative to the actual size of the place or object. Various scales may be used for different drawings in a set. For example, a floor plan may be drawn at 1:50 (or 1/4"=1'-0") whereas a detailed view may be drawn at 1:25 (or 1/2"=1'-0"). Site plans are often drawn at 1:200 or 1:100 

(d)To communicate spatial information effectively, features such as rivers, lakes, and cities need to be labeled. Over centuries cartographers have developed the art of placing names on even the densest of maps. Text placement or name placement can get mathematically very complex as the number of labels and map density increases. Therefore, text placement is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so cartographers and GIS users have developed automatic label placement to ease this process 


Their's a big difference between a map and a sketch. A sketch is just an imaginary image of a specific place. It is usually used when someone ask for the location of a certain place or area. On the other hand, a map is used mainly in Geographical study, where you can recognize important geographical facts for a certain country. for example, in United States, with the map we can easilly know some geographical facts about united States, its capital city, major cities and the highest and lowest peak. Map is common for us. In school, office, and even in some homes, there's a map.

Answer 2

The differences between sketch, plan and map as follows -

• Sketch : In the field of geography the sketch is the hand-drawn pictorial representation of a real geographical landscape.A sketch doesn't follow any kind of geographical scales.

On the other hand,

• Plan : In the field of geography ,the plan is a set of diagrams or instructions which are important for proper determination of a place, an object or geographical activities.

And finally,

• Map : The map is the graphical representation (two dimensional) of a geographical region which describes many important geographical elements of that particular region, through the graphical representation itself. The map always follows a geographical scale,unlike the sketch.
