Answer 1

ANSWER:

• Cartographers or mapmakers does not ask how large are each of the map elements or the size of each element of the map before designing them.

• They don’t ask this type of question normally because the size of the elements of the maps is not relevant.

EXPLANATION:

• Map making is a complicated process. There must be symbolic and accurate representation of a place.

• It should indicate the approximate distance between places that matches the distance on Earth. It should involve grids, symbols, and proper scale.
