A map is a representation of what the land or space looks like but on a much smaller scale. Usually, maps are shown on paper or screens. Maps of the land or space can show different elements because it would depends on what you are trying to learn. It could be that the map shows the various agricultural products grown in an area. It may be a physical map showing the different landforms and bodies of water in an area.

The scale is a small measurement showing how much one mile is represented on the map. To show the distance between two cities, someone could use the scale. First, draw the scale on another scrap piece of paper. Then use the drawn scale as a ruler.
