Question

Maps prepared with a larger scale are characterized by displaying

• A. Less detail and a large area
• B. More detail and a small area
• C. Only political boundaries
• D. Only elevations

Hint:

Map scales: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Large scale} &\rightarrow \text{Small area, more detail} \text{Small scale} &\rightarrow \text{Large area, less detail} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A large-scale map represents a relatively small area with greater detail. Examples include cadastral maps and city maps. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{More detail and a small area}} \] is the correct answer. Therefore, \[ \boxed{(B)} \]
