Question

What is the need to use map scale? Think about it and write a paragraph.

Answer 1

"Maps are used to represent the flat surface of any part of the Earth or the celestial body.

Since maps are much smaller in size; we use scales to compare the size of the surface with the actual area.

The types of Map scale are:

• Small Scale Maps: The large areas are represented by small-scale maps such as 1 inch = 50 miles.

• Large Scale Maps: The small areas are represented by large scale such as 1 inch = 1 yard.
