Write any three basic elements of maps.

$\sf \huge \color{#a1ec00}{Answer:-}$

There are three components of maps

1. $\tt \color{teal}{Distance}$
2. $\tt \color{#ccff66}{Direction}$
3. $\tt \color{#ffcc66}{Symbol}$

Let's understand briefly

$\tt \color{teal}{\:\:1.\:\:\:Distance}$

• Maps are drawings, which reduce the entire world or a part of it to fit on a sheet of paper. Or we can say maps are drawn to reduced scales. But this reduced and is done very carefully so that the distance between the place is real. It can only be possible when a small distance on paper represents, a large distance on the ground.
• Therefore, a scale is chosen for this purpose. Scale is the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on the map.
• For example, the distance between your school and your home is 10 km. if you show this 10 km distance by 2 cm on a map, it means, 1 cm on the map will show 5 km on the ground. The scale of your drawing will be 1 cm = 5 km.
• Thus, scale is very important in any map. If you know the scale you will be able to calculate the distance between any two places on a map.

$\tt \color{#ccff66}{\:\:2.\:\:\:Direction}$

• Most maps contain an arrow mark with the letter 'n' at the upper right hand corner. This arrow shows the northern direction. It is called the north line.
• When you know the north you can find out other directions, for example east, west, and South. There are four major direction north, south, east, and West they are called cardinal points.
• Other four intermediate directions are north-east (NE), southeast (SE), south-west (SW), and north-west (NW).
• We can locate any place more accurately with the help of these intermediate directions.
• We can find out the direction of a place with the help of a compass. Iit is an instrument used to find out main directions. Magnetic needle always points towards north-south (NS) direction.

$\tt \color{#ffcc66}{\:\:3.\:\:\:Symbol}$

• It is the third important component of map.
• It is not possible to draw on a map the actual shape and size of different features such as buildings, roads bridges, trees railway lines or a well.
• So, they are shown by using certain letters, shades, colours, pictures and lines.
• These symbols give a lot of information in a limited space.
• With the use of these symbols, maps can be drawn easily and are simple to read. Even if you don't know the language of an area and therefore can't ask someone for directions, you can collect information from maps with the help of these symbols.
• Maps have a universal language that can be understood by all.
• Various colours are used for the same purpose. For example, generally blue is used for showing water bodies, brown for mountain, yellow for plateau and green is used for plains.
