Concept:Atlas maps show large areas like continents or the whole world, so they use a very small scale where a tiny map distance represents a huge ground distance.Explanation:Scale tells how much the real world is reduced on a map. A large‑scale map shows a small area in great detail, like a city. A small‑scale map shows a large area with less detail, like a country or the entire globe. In an atlas, maps of entire countries or the world are drawn very small compared to their actual size. The representative fraction (e.g., 1:10,000,000) is very small. That is why atlas maps are made on a very small scale.Answer:D. very small
