Expert Answer
- A scale is the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on a map. For example, the distance between your home and your friend’s home is 10 km. If we have to show this distance on a map, then we will take 1 cm = 10 km. It means that 1 cm on a map will represent a distance of 10 km.
- A smaller scale is used for displaying larger areas like continents or countries on a map. For example 2 cm may be used to show 200 km of the ground. Such maps are called small scale maps.
- When a small area like a village or a district is shown on a map, then a larger scale is used. For example, 2 cm on the map will now show 200 metres only. Such maps are called large scale maps. Such maps give us more information than the small scale maps.
