HOW DO YOU USE
A PHYSICAL MAP?
Using a physical map means
knowing how to use its tools and
read its symbols. The scale tool helps
you understand distances on the map. It
shows that a certain distance on the map
stands for a certain distance on Earth.
Scales like this one are often
near the bottom of a map.
What is a scale used for?
Maps have different types of scales. One common
type looks like a ruler. Scales like this are often marked
with miles, kilometers, or both. To use this kind of
scale, line up the edge of a sheet of paper between two
locations on a map. Make a mark on the paper at each
spot. Then move the paper to the scale. Line up one
mark with the zero. The other mark will be on or near a
number that shows the distance.
A scale can help you find the
distance between Honolulu
and Waikiki in Oahu, Hawaii.
