Match the type of map with its characteristics:

Thematic Maps = Designed to depict a particular type of feature or measurement Reference Maps = Not designed for any specific application Topographic Maps = Used for population distribution studies Analog Maps = Easier to edit digitally

Match the planning level with its suggested scale:

National Planning = 1:50,000 Metropolitan Planning = 1:1,500,000 Municipality/City Planning = 1:10,000 Regional Planning = 1:25,000

Match the type of map with its example:

Topographic Maps = Population distribution maps Thematic Maps = Flood maps Reference Maps = Land cover maps Analog Maps = Topographic Maps

Match the characteristic with the type of map:

Static representation = Analog Maps Dynamic representation = Digital Maps Used for GIS = Reference Maps Used for land use planning = Thematic Maps Signup and view all the answers

Match the type of map with its use in GIS:

Thematic Maps = Supply locational information for GIS Reference Maps = Depict geographic phenomena for GIS Analog Maps = Used as an analog product from a GIS Digital Maps = Used as a source of data for GIS Signup and view all the answers

Match the planning level with its suggested scale range:

Land Use Map/Plan = 1:2,000 to 1:5,000 Municipality/City Planning = 1:10,000 to 1:25,000 Metropolitan Planning = 1:25,000 to 1:50,000 National Planning = 1:50,000 to 1:1,500,000 Signup and view all the answers

Match the type of map with its advantage:

Digital Maps = Can represent curved surfaces Analog Maps = Easier to edit digitally Reference Maps = Can be used for national planning Thematic Maps = Can depict 3D topography Signup and view all the answers
