What the types of conventional symbol

Answer 1

TYPES OF CONVECTIONAL SYMBOLS
Almost everything that appears on a map, except a printed name, is a conventional sign.Conventional signs and symbols represent various features shown on a map and are not drawn to scale. Most conventional signs and symbols are very easy to learn and they make using a map much easier and more clear.

Man made features like cities, roads and railways are very important on a map, therefore, they are shown far larger on a map than their real size. Colours are used to make map symbols more clear and they are used to put map symbols into groups.

 

There are three types of map symbols:

Point Symbols= buildings, dipping tanks, trigonometrical beacons.

Line Symbols= railways, roads, power lines, telephone lines.

Area Symbols=cultivation, orchards and vineyards, pans.
