Answer 1

Answer:

Bar and Lexical scale

Explanation:

A map is the two-dimensional representation of the earth, that shows the features and countries and the water bodies on earth with proper latitude and longitudes. The land areas are highlighted by different colors except blue as blue color is used to indicate the oceans and other water bodies on earth.

These maps are comprised of north direction, index and the scale of maps.

A map scale is defined as the ratio between the distance on a map to the actual distance of the ground surface. It is given on the outer edge of maps. This map scale enables us to calculate the actual distance on the earth's surface.

The scale of a map is generally of two types. They are-

1) Bar scale- here it is a visual scale, directly measurable and is quite commonly used.

2) Lexical scale- here it is a non-visual scale and calculations are made by using conversions.
