Write the difference between a map and a plan.
Answer:
Map | Plan |
A map is a representation or a drawing of the surface of the earth or a part of it drawn on a flat surface according to a scale. | On a broad scale, a plan is a drawing of a small region. |
Maps offer accurate descriptions of a greater portion of the earth. | A plan provides limited data about a certain small region |
It can be used for representing large areas like continents or countries (large scale maps), and also for representing a small area like a village or a town (small scale maps). | It is used for representing those things that cannot be represented in a map. For example, the length and the breadth of a room cannot be shown in a map. For this purpose, a plan is used. |
