A large-scale map shows much more detail. For example - a 1:1000 map will show twice as much detail as a 1:2000 one. The higher the number - the smaller the scale is.

Is 5.9 high on the ritcher earthquake scale?

5.9 is in the moderate category on the Ritcher scale doing at most slight damage to well-designed buildings and mostly damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. But the overall seismic energy is equivalent to 10.7 kilotons of TNT explosive force so it's not trivial. In comparison, this is over 4,000 times the energy equivalent of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing (5,000 pounds), but spread out over a much larger area.


What is the definition of vertical in math?

The definition of vertical is dependent of the scale. On a small scale, it means going straight up, at right angles to the [levelled] surface of the earth at that point. Alternatively, going up the page. Because the earth is approximately spherical, the vertical direction at he equator is different from the vertical direction at the North Pole. On that scale, one could consider the line joining the South Pole to the North Pole as the vertical. But that definition fails when you consider the earth over its orbit. So you could define it in terms of the North and South poles of the sun. But the sun itself is not stationary and so on.

How is a small scale map different from a large scale map in points?

The main point is that very little detail can be shown on a small scale map due to lack of space. Small scale maps show a large area, motorways, main roads, etc. A large scale map is used when showing details is important. A large scale map will show churches, country lanes, footpaths, etc, over a very small area.

Is tropical cyclones another way of saying Tornado?

No. A tropical cyclone is a storm such as a tropical storm, hurricane, or typhoon. In other words, a large-scale storm system the develops over warm ocean water. A tornado is a small-scale but intense vortex that is not necessarily tropical and can easily form over land.


What is the difference between how hurricanes and tornadoes form?

Hurricanes are large-scale weather systems that form as clusters of thunderstorms intensify and organize over warm ocean water. Tornadoes are small-scale weather phenomena that form from complicated interactions of air currents within a thunderstorm.


Why are they called hurricanes and not tornadoes?

Tornadoes and hurricanes are two different kinds of storm. A tornado is a small-scale violent vortex of wind that can develop during a severe thunderstorm. A hurricane is an intense, large-scale low-pressure system that forms over tropical ocean water.
