<span>A map that is drawn to scale/has a scale means that you can measure a distance on the map and it will be the same on the ground according to the scale. Said another way, if I know where I am, (or a given starting point), that is on the map, I can find a second point that I want to get to, measure the distance on the map and it will be the same distance on the ground. Note that the units of measurement have to be the same. If the map scale is 1:50,000, then one foot on the map is 50,000 feet on the ground. If it's one shoe on the map (I just put the map on the floor, took off my shoe and put it on the map, made a mark on the map at the heel and another at the toe), then on the ground, the distance will be 50,000 shoe lengths.</span><span>Source(s):</span>
In the atmosphere, as the air gets warmer, it rises up. When the air gets cooler, it sinks down. Same goes for oceans. When the water gets warmer due to either sunshine or geothermic properties, it rises up as surface currents which have their own unique pathway
Non-governmental institutions are independent of governments hence do not identify themselves with any government or state. They are mainly involved in humanitarian works, and societal building roles especially in less developed societies. Their workings are not intended for any profits and are usually funded through donations.
