Geology Unit 3 - Topographic Maps

If you have a map that has a scale of 1:125,000 and the "1" refers to 1 inch, then the "125,000" must be equal to:

125,000 inches

A scale on which one inch equals 1000 feet would be written on a map as which of the following ratio scales: 1:1000 ; 1:12,000 ; 1:24,000 ; 1:120,000

1:12,000

For the following map scales, which would show greater detail (such as buildings and other structures)? 1:120,000 ; 1:62,500 ; 1:24,000 ; 1:12,000

1:12,000

For the following map scales, which would cover a larger area? 1:120,000 ; 1:62,500 ; 1:24,000 ; 1:12,000

1:120,000

The verbal scale of 1 in = 3.5 miles would become which of the following ratio scales? 1:18,103 ; 1:18,480 ; 1:63,360 ; 1:221,760

1:18,480

Examples of topographic map scales are 1:250,000, 1:125,000, 1:62,500 and 1:24,000. Of these listed, which is the largest scale?

1:24,000

Examples of topographic map scales are 1:250,000, 1:125,000, 1:62,500 and 1:24,000. Of these listed, which is the smallest scale?

1:250,000

Which of the following verbal map scales would cover the smallest area? 1in=10,000ft; 1in=300ft; 1cm=10,000cm; 1cm=300cm

1cm=300cm

On a map with a scale of 1:62,500, two points that are 4 centimeters apart would actually be (in meters)

2,500 meters apart

On a map with a scale of 1:24,000, two points that are 3.4 inches apart would actually be (in feet)

6,800 feet apart

Map relief is defined by

the change in elevation between the highest and lowest elevations on a map
