•What is cartography?
The study of maps
•Three characteristics of
maps
They are simple, reduced and use
colours and symbols
•Are map projections accurate?
No, they are distorted representations of
the Earth.

Scale / escala
• Graphic scale: line divided into equal parts.
• Numerical scale: relationship between a unit of distance
on a map (1cm) and the real distance (100.000 cm.= 1000 m.)
– Large: 1: 5000-1:50000 (1cm.-50m.---1cm.-500 m.)
– Intermediate:1: 50 000- 1: 100.000 (500 m - 1km.)
– Small: 1: 100 000… (1km…)
