What is the name of the drawing instrument which is used to copy maps in different scales?
A pantograph is a drawing instrument used to copy maps in different scales by tracing the original map on one end and replicating it at a different scale on the other end.
Why do geographers use scales?
Geographers use scales to accurately represent the size and distance of features on maps relative to the actual size on Earth's surface. Scales help to maintain proportion and ensure that maps are a true representation of reality. Different scales are used depending on the level of detail needed for a specific map or study.
Names of different maps?
you can get maps online or in stores such a traffic and movement
What are the different type of maps?
Some common types of maps include political maps, which show borders and boundaries of countries and states; physical maps, which depict the geographical features of an area such as mountains and rivers; thematic maps, which focus on a specific theme or topic like population distribution or climate; and topographic maps, which show elevation and terrain using contour lines.
Why did people develop a variety of maps for studying and displaying information about earth?
The Earth is a sphere. Maps are flat. Therefore when you try and make a representation of a sphere (the Earth) as a flat map, you introduce some distortions. The process of making a flat map from a sphere is called projection and there are a number of different projections that you can use, each with different distortions (e.g. an equal area projection, a Mercator projection etc). Therefore you need a variety of maps (projections) depending on what you want to use the map for.
What is the name of the two different type of scales on maps?
The name of two different types of scales found on maps is graphic scales. The scales are used to establish the ration of the distance on the map to the actual distance.
What are the 2 types of scales found on all usgs maps?
A commonly used scale on a topographic map is 1:24,000
In one inch on a map 800 miles?
Not necessarily. You can get maps at different scales. And any decent map will have information about the scale used for the map.
One inch on a map represents 800 miles It is?
Different maps will have different map scales on them. If a map has a scale where one inch is equal to 800 miles, it is not a very detailed map.
How many miles does 1 inch represent on the small-scale map?
You would have to refer to the scale markings or legend on the map to determine that. Different maps have different scales.

How are maps and globes similar how are they different?
Maps and globes both do the same thing - show a representation of the earth in different scales. the difference between the two is - a globe is a 3D version of a map !

Does 1 inch equal the same amount of real miles on all map scales why or why not?
No. Some maps are scaled differently.
Does one inch equal the same amount of real miles on all map scales . why or why not?
No. Some maps are scaled differently.
Does one inch equal the same amount on all maps?
No, one inch does not always equal the same distance on all maps. The scale of a map determines how distances on the map relate to actual distances on the Earth's surface. Different maps can have different scales depending on the level of detail and size of the area being depicted.
