Map Scale

In the NCERT Geography book Practical Work in Geography (Class 11, Chapter — “Map Scale”), you explore how distances on maps represent actual distances on the Earth's surface.

You learn about the concept of map scale, which helps convert real-world distances into smaller measurements on a map. The chapter introduces different types of scales, such as statement scale, representative fraction (RF), and linear scale.

You also practice measuring distances on maps and converting scales, which is an important skill for understanding geographical data and spatial relationships.
