Question

Compared to a small-scale map, a large-scale map will have a relatively ________ value for its representative fraction (RF), and will show a ________ amount of geographic area.

Answer 1

Answer: higher, smaller

Explanation:

The scale is the relationship between the depicted feature on a map and its real size.

Compared to a small scale map, large scale maps depict a smaller amount of geographic area with a higher amount of detail and have smaller denominators in their representative fractions.

On the other hand, small-scale maps illustrate vast areas in a proportionately small size, have little detail, and larger denominators in their representative fractions.
