Question

Which of the following would a large scale map BEST represent? A)The United States B) Madison, Wisconsin C)The Southwest D)North America E)The Western Hemisphere

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is E. A large scale map would best represent the Western Hemisphere.

Explanation:

Maps are graphic representations of different points on Earth. Thus, these representations show the size, location, shape and other characteristics of a certain place, being able to represent from neighborhoods or small cities to the entire world, or even a galaxy.

In this sense, we speak of small-scale maps to those that represent small areas of the world, which do not show a large territorial dimension. On the other hand, large-scale maps are those that represent the entire planet, such as world maps, or a large portion of it, such as continental or hemispheric maps.
