Scale: Is it an accurate representation? World Geography Scale: Is it an accurate representation?

What is Scale? Scale drawings show objects which have been made smaller or larger but which are in exact proportion to the real object

Expressions of Scale Stated Scale E.g. 1 cm = 10 Km This means that one cm on a map represents 10 km in real life

Expressions of Scale Line Scale E.g. 10 0 10 20 30 40 KM The line shows what distances on the map represent in real life

Expressions of Scale Fractional Scale or Representational Fraction E.g. 1:200 000 This means 1 cm represents 200 000 cm in real life It also means that the map is 1/200 000 the size of the real place
