A model is considered to scale if its relative proportions are equal to that of the object its modeling. If a building is twice as tall as it is wide, then a scale model of the building will also be twice as tall as it is wide regardless of how big the model is relative to the real building.
The picture below is of a relief globe. The height of objects (above or below sea level) on a relief globe use a different scale than their widths and lengths.
Without knowing the scale used for the heights of objects, what could be figured out accurately using this relief globe?
A. Where the highest and lowest places on earth are
B. The kinds of terrain on different parts of the earth
C. How high above sea level a certain mountain is
D. How much later the sun sets on top of a mountain than in a valley
