What is vertical exaggeration? the ratio of the horizontal scale on a map to the vertical scale on a map. the elevation of a specific point on a landscape. the ratio of the vertical scale on a map to the horizontal scale on a map. the difference between extreme altitudes (low vs high) on a topographic map.

The ratio of the vertical scale on a map to the horizontal scale on a map.

Explanation:

Vertical exaggeration -

In geography , this is one of the scale , which is  used in the raised - relief maps , technical and plans drawing , the main function of this scale is to emphasize the vertical features , which are very small to detect relatively by the horizontal scale .  

The Vertical exaggeration is calculated by the formula -

It is given as the ration of the Vertical scale to the Horizontal scale . i.e. ,

Vertical exaggeration = VS / HS

where ,

VS = Vertical Scale

HS = Horizontal Scale .

{\displaystyle {\mathit {VE}}={\mathit {\frac {VS}{HS{\displaystyle {\mathit {VE}}={\mathit {\frac {VS}{HS

where VS is the vertical scale and HS is the horizontal scale, both given as representative fractions.
