MERCATOR CHART SCALE

#1. If the scale of a Mercator chart at


52S is 1:2,000,000, what is the scale at
the Equator?
1:3,250,000

1:1,000,000

1:866,000

1:500,000

#2. On a Mercator chart, the scale at


54S is 1:2,000,000. What is the scale
at 25N?
1:2,000,000

1:3,084,000

1:1,121,000

1:3,825,000

#3. On a Mercator chart, the chart


length between two meridians, 160E
and 160W, is 30 cms at 30S. What is
the scale of the chart at 30S?
CHECK ANSWER

#4. At 40N, the scale of Mercator chart


is 1:10,000,000. What is the distance in
centimetres between the 160E and
160W meridians at 20S?
CHECK ANSWER

An immediate problem appears to be that the scale is given at


40N but the distance between the
two meridians has to be calculated at 20S. Initially, the student
might be tempted to change the
scale from 40N to 20S using the scale conversion formula
previously given. This is unnecessary.
Think about the Mercator chart – it has parallel meridians and so
the distance between two
meridians will be the same at all latitudes. The problem can be
solved completely at 40N.

#5. On a Mercator chart, the scale at


the Equator is 1:3,500,000. What is the
scale at 37ºS?
CHECK ANSWER

1:2,795,224

50°N is 1:4,500,000. What is the scale
at the Equator?
CHECK ANSWER

1:7,000,757

#7. On a Mercator chart, the scale at


15°N is 1:1,500,000. What is the scale
at 47ºS?
CHECK ANSWER

1:1,059,085

#8. The chart length between


meridians 1° apart is 3.2 inches. What
is the scale of the chart as a
representative fraction at 50N ?
CHECK ANSWER

#9. A Mercator is to be constructed at a


scale of 1:2,237,000 in latitude 44N.
What is the required spacing in
centimetres between meridians 1°
