"One centimeter to one kilometer" is a graphic scale, which uses a visual representation of a scale to show the relationship between distance on a map and actual distance on the ground. Representative fraction is expressed as a ratio, while written scale is simply written as words. Relative scale and temporal scale are not relevant in this context.
