Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of generalization in cartography?

  • To remove all geographic features from the map
  • To simplify geographic features on a map while maintaining their essential characteristics (correct)
  • To increase the complexity of geographic features for better understanding
  • To completely redraw the map with simplified features

    • What factors affect the generalization process in cartography?

  • The size of the paper used for the map and the type of ink
  • The color scheme and font style of the map
  • The goal or purpose of the map and preserving original map information (correct)
  • The weather conditions during map creation and the map designer's favorite features

    • What is the aim of preserving the original map information during generalization?

  • To increase the map's complexity for advanced users
  • To completely overhaul the original map information
  • To prevent negative effects on the map user due to loss of information (correct)
