Could really use some on this! a. study the map above. for the country shown, describe one example of each of the following spatial concepts: location place pattern b. define scale, identify and explain the scale used on the map above, and discuss the difference between large-scale and small-scale maps. c. explain two ways in which scale effects the interpretation of geographic information.

A. An example of the spatial location of concept could be saying that Cairo is about 500  miles south of the Mediterranean Sea. This would be relative location. An example of pattern is that most of the cities fall along the coastline or near it, most likely because it is a source of food and transportation.

B. Scale is the relationship between the size of an area on a map and the actual size of the mapped area. The scale on the map above is a linear scale. The length of the line on the linear scale is equal to the length shown on the earth multiplied by the map or chart's scale. A large scale map shows a small area in great detail and a small scale map shows more area but is less detailed.

C. Sometimes on large scale maps with a lot of detail, there is a lot of noise on the map and this can cause confusion when trying to read and interpret the map. IN a similar way, on large scale maps where there is little detail, it can be hard to interpret because of the lack of detail in the map.
