Describe any two ways of representing a map scale.
✓

Answer

The map scale can be represented as :
(a) Verbal or statement scale — The scale is stated in words. The units are usually mentioned in this type of scale, for example, 1 cm= 10 km or 1 cm to 10 km. It means that 1 cm on the map is equal to 10 km on the ground.
(b) Graphical or linear scale — This consists of a straight line which is divided into lengths that represent given distances on the earth’s surface.
