Does changing a map scale change actual distances?
No, changing a map scale does not change the actual distances on the ground. It only changes the representation of those distances on the map. The scale ratio helps to accurately represent features in a smaller or larger proportion on the map compared to reality.
Would A map scale 1S5000 be better for showing city streets than a map of scale 1S500000?
Yes, a map scale of 1:5000 would be better for showing city streets because it provides more detail and accuracy compared to a map scale of 1:500000, which would show a larger area with less detail. The smaller scale allows for a clearer representation of individual streets and features in a city.
Why is the graphic scale not affected by changing the size of the map?
The graphic scale on a map remains constant regardless of the map size because it is a visual representation of distance that is proportional to the actual distance on the ground. As long as the scale bar is correctly designed and placed on the map, it will accurately represent distances relative to the map's size. Changing the map's dimensions won't alter the scale bar's relationship to physical distances.
What are the three things a map needs?
A map needs a clear legend to explain symbols and colors used, a title to indicate the subject or area represented, and a scale to show distances accurately.
What are three major components on maps?
