What is the relationship between map scale and distance?

• Map scale represents the temperature of the area on the map

• Map scale represents the elevation of the area on the map

• Map scale represents the ratio of distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground.

• Map scale represents the population density of the area on the map

How can you determine the distance on a map using the map scale?

• Use a ruler or a piece of string to measure the distance between two points on the map, and then use the map scale to convert that measurement to the actual distance.

• Guess the distance based on the size of the map

• Use a compass to measure the distance

• Count the number of landmarks between two points on the map

What is the purpose of a map key?
