Linear vs logarithmic scales. 1  Human hearing is better measured on a logarithmic scale than a linear scale. 2  On a linear scale, a change between two values is perceived on the basis of the difference between the values.  On a logarithmic scale, a change between two values is perceived on the basis of the ratio of the two values.
The simplest form of map scale is a VERBAL SCALE. A verbal scale just states what distance on the map is equal to what distance on the ground, (i.e. 1 inch = 2000 feet from our example above) Though verbal scales are easy to understand, you usually will not find them printed on topographic maps. Instead our second type of scale is used.
