question 14

Multiple Choice

A map has a scale of 1/100,000. Which of the following statements is correct if you had a second map with a scale of 1/2500?

• A)the map with a scale of 1/2500 would cover more surface area but have less detail than the one scaled at 1/100,000
• B)the map with a scale of 1/2500 would cover more surface area and have better detail than the one scaled at 1/100,000
• C)the map with a scale of 1/2500 would cover the same surface area and have the same level of detail as the one scaled at 1/100,000
• D)the map with a scale of 1/2500 would cover less surface area but have better detail than the one scaled at 1/100,000
• E)the map with a scale of 1/2500 would cover less surface area and have less detail than the one scaled at 1/100,000
