(f) Which map provides detailed information?   (g) How do symbols help in reading maps?

Answer:

(f) The large scale maps provide detailed information. (g) It is not possible to show on the map the actual shape of features such as a building, a well or a tree. So symbols are used to represent various features in maps. With their help, it is easier and quicker to read and understand the maps. They also make the map clearer and easier to read. These symbols are termed as conventional symbols. They form the alphabet of maps.
