into two halves. The half on the left represents the area found in the
                  Northern  Hemisphere.  The  Southern  Hemisphere  is  located  on  the
                  right.  The  blue  line  represents  the  central  meridian  for  this  zone.
                  Locations measurements for this zone are calculated relative to a false

                  origin.  In  the  Northern  Hemisphere,  this  origin  is  located  500,000
                  meters  west  of  the  equator.  The  Southern  Hemisphere  UTM
                  measurements  are  determined  relative  to  an  origin  located  at

                  10,000,000 meters south and 500,000 meters west of the equator and
                  central meridian, respectively.

                        Task 1. Complete the text with the words from the box and
                        translate it into Ukrainian.

                             larger scale; the relationship; to scale; distance; ways;

                                             on the ground; small-scale maps.

                                    How to make scales for plans and maps?

                        To represent distances you have measured in the field on a piece
                  of  paper,  you  need  ______them  down.  This  means  that  you  must

                  reduce  the  size  of  the  distances  proportionally  according  to  a  scale.
                  The  scale  expresses  ________which  exists  between  the  distance

                  shown  on  a  drawing  or  map  and  the  actual  distance  across  the
                  ground.

                        For example:
                          1  cm  on  the  plan  represents  20  m  (or  2000  cm)_______,  or
                  scale 1:2000.

                          1  cm  on  the  map  represents  100  m  on  the  ground,  or  scale
                  1:10000.

                          1  cm  on  the  map  represents  1250  m  on  the  ground,  or  scale
                  1:125000.
                        There are three _______ of expressing the scale of a drawing:
                         As a numerical equivalent such as " 1 cm = 20 m", which you

                  should read as "1 cm on the plan represents 20 m on the ground";
                         As a ratio such as " 1: 2 000" which you should read as " 1 cm
                  on the plan represents 2 000 cm = 20 m on the ground";

                         graphically, with a line that is marked off into drawing distances
                  that correspond to convenient units of _______on the ground.
