Answer 1

In geography, “scale” refers to the depth of inquiry or the amount of details.

When looking at a scale, you would be able to observe and see the detail on either the map or even what ever would be related to the geography in this case, so this would be the reason and why this would refer to this.

Answer 2

Answer:

a. the depth of inquiry or the amount of details.

Explanation:

In geography, scale refers to ratio between the distance on a map and the distance in the actual world. Therefore, scale tells us the depth of inquiry or the amount of details that are included in a particular map. A scale also allows us to compare a map with the real world and correctly interpret the comparison. This concept can become quite complicated when we take into account the curvature of the Earth.
