✓
Answer
The main points of differences among a map, a plan and a sketch are the following:
A map shows a large area on a small scale, the plan shows a small area on a large scale, a sketch is not drawn to scale.
A map shows only important features of a large area, a plan shows detailed features of a small area. A sketch shows only landmarks which are usefulas guides.
Maps, plans and sketches each uses a different method of drawing. Maps project curved features of the Earth on a flat surface to a scale accordingto some well-defined methods of projection. Plans are generally like an engineering drawing. The sketch needs no particular skill or method to draw.
