Geography

Gwar [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The scale used is 1:2,400.

Explanation:

The maps come in numerous different shapes/projections, and they can have numerous different purposes. Every map has its own elements, and one of the most important is the scale. The scale depends on how much should something be shown on the map, or rather depending on how detailed it should be.

In this case, we have 5 cm on the map representing 120 m in reality. In order to get to the scale of the map we have two steps:

  • convert the meters to cm
  • divide the distance in reality with the distance on the map

1 m = 100 cm

120 x 100 = 12,000 cm

12,000 / 5 = 2,400 cm

The result we get is 2,400, meaning that the scale of the map is 1:2,400, or 1 cm on the map represents 2,400 cm in reality.

On a sunny day, would the air over a piece of land be cooler than the air over a bordering lake?
sammy [17]
Yes because the cool air from a near by water source migrates toward the land to take the place of the hot air rising while the air over an area of water would be warmer because it is absorbing solar energy from the sun
