Scale:

A ratio scale tells us what 1cm represents in centimetres eg

1:100,000 means 1cm represents 100,000 centimetres. When

converting from ratio scale to metres you take off the last 2

zeros

eg 1: 100,000 becomes 1000 metres. And vice versa when

converting from metres to ratio add 2 zeros eg 500 metres

becomes 1:50,000

Fill in the blanks belowRatio scales Sentence scale ___ kilometres

1: 200,000 1 centimetre represents 2000m km

1: 100,000 1 _______________________ 1 km

1: 75,000 1 _______________________ 0.75 km1: 50,000 1 centimetre represents 500m ______

1: 25,000 _________________________ 0.25 km

1: 10,000 _________________________ ______1: 5000 _________________________ 0.05 km

1: 1000 _________________________ ______

Maps drawn on progressively smaller scales increase the area of

the earth that can be shown, but reduce the amount of detail that

can be included. Maps drawn on progressively larger scales

decrease the area that can be shown but enable more detail to be

shown. This means, for example, that a map drawn to a scale of

1:20,000 covers a smaller area of the earth’s surface but shows

much more detail than a map drawn to a scale of 1:100,000.

Because the scale of a map shows the relationship betweendistances on the map and distances on the ground it can be used

to calculate distances and areas.

How do we use six figure grid references?

7.7

Six figure grid references can be used to give the exact position of a place on a map.

u

The first three numbers tell us how far to go along the bottom or top of the

map. The third number tells us the number of tenths of a grid square.

u

The last three numbers tell us how far to go up the sides of the map.The sixth number tells us the number of tenths of a grid square.

u

On a map you will have to estimate the tenths of each grid square.

How can height be shown on a map?

7.9

There are three main methods of showing height above sea level on maps.

u Spot heights are numbers that show the exact height of a place.

u

Contours are lines on a map which join up places which have thesame height.

u

Layer colouring uses bands of different colours to show areas of different heights.

1 Complete the contour map below by following the instructions.

2 Complete the following sentences:

u

The height at A is _____________ metres.

u

The height at B is _____________ metres.

u The height at C is _____________ metres.

u The height at D is _____________ metres.

3 Mark the place that you think has the lowest height with an ‘X’.

How do contours show height and relief?

7.10


Contour lines are a good way of showing height and relief on a map.Contours that are close together show steep slopes. Contours that are farapart show gentle slopes. The pattern of the contours tells us about thefeatures of the land.

Match each of the landform sketches below to the correct contourpattern by writing the correct letter in the space provided.
