9 Choropleth Map A choropleth map (from Greek χώρο ("area/region") + πλήθος ("multitude")) is a thematic map in which areas are shaded or patterned in proportion to the measurement of the statistical variable being displayed on the map, such as population density or per-capita income.

13 Dot Density Map Highlight Megalopolis… Show N/S Korea on the Earth at Night poster and do the funny contrast

14 Cartogram A cartogram is a map in which some thematic mapping variable – such as travel time, population, or Gross National Product – is substituted for land area or distance. The geometry or space of the map is distorted in order to convey the information of this alternate variable. There are two main types of cartograms: area and distance cartograms. Cartograms have a fairly long history, with examples from the mid-1800s.

15 US Population Cartogram

16 What is represented by this Cartogram?
Shows GDP percapita

17 What is represented by this Cartogram?
Shows world container shipping

18 Theories What is a theory? Versions of theories
A story that TRIES to explain the facts Versions of theories Medicine – diagnosis Science - hypothesis Lawyers – argument/motive Geography – MODELS Why do theories change? New evidence contradicts A theory more concisely explains the information
