Question

Which of the following would represent a situation where the scale measured on the map is much LARGER than the scale of the generating globe?

Question options:

1)

SF = 3.37

2)

SF = 1.98

3)

SF = 1.23

4)

SF = 0.95

5)

SF = 0.51

Answer 1

Option 1 (SF = 3.37) represents a situation where the scale measured on the map is much larger than the scale of the generating globe.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent a situation where the scale measured on the map is much LARGER than the scale of the generating globe, we would look for a scale factor (SF) greater than 1. This signifies that a unit of measurement on the map corresponds to a larger unit of actual distance. In the question's provided options, the scale factors are:

• SF = 3.37
• SF = 1.98
• SF = 1.23
• SF = 0.95
• SF = 0.51

As scale factors below 1 would indicate that the map scale is smaller than the generating globe's scale (meaning the representation is reduced in size), a scale factor of 3.37 (option 1) would clearly represent a much larger map scale compared to the globe's scale.
