Which of the following map scales would be most useful for studying the details of geographic features in the landscape of a farming community? 1:3,000,000 A 1:1,000,000 B 1:750,000 C 1:125,000 D 1:10,000

Option (D)

Explanation:

In the field of geography, a scale usually refers to the ratio between the distance between two places on the map and the distance between that same two places on the actual ground surface.

It is widely used to understand the size of an area. It is given at the bottom of the map. It is of different types, namely the small scale, medium scale, and large scale.

The scale of 1:10,000 will be the most effective and useful for studying the geographic features in detail in a landscape of a particular farming community. This ratio means that 1 cm on the map represents 100 km on the ground surface. This covers a small area but in larger size helping us to understand and observe the area in many details.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
