What are the uses of aeronautical charts?

Ans An aeronautical chart is a map designed to assist in navigation of aircraft, much as nautical charts do for watercraft or a roadmap for drivers. Using these charts and other tools, pilots are able to determine their position, safe altitude, best route to a destination, navigation aids along the way, alternative landing areas in case of an in-flight emergency and other useful information such as radio frequencies and airspace boundaries. There are charts for all land masses on Earth and long-distance charts for trans-oceanic travel.

GeographyClass 6All

Define contour maps?

Ans In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example, a topographic map, which shows valleys and hills and the steepness of slopes. The contour interval of a contour map is the difference in elevation between successive contour lines.

GeographyClass 6All

Define cartography?

GeographyClass 6All

What are electronic maps?

Ans From the last quarter of the 20th century, the indispensable tool of the cartographer has been the computer. Much of cartography, especially at the data-gathering survey level, has been replaced by Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The functionality of maps has been greatly advanced by technology simplifying the superimposition of spatially located variables onto existing geographical maps. Having local information such as rainfall level, distribution of wildlife or demographic data integrated within the map allows more efficient analysis and better decision making.
