Thematic Map

A thematic map breaks down certain characteristics of an area, such as it's population, religion, or in this case, undeveloped land in Hawaii, and shows us the details on a map of the said area. You can see how all land that is undeveloped in Hawaii is broken down into different categories and mapped by color and design.

Doppler Radar Image

This is a doppler radar image of Hurrican Frances taken in 2004. The range on the side and corresponsing colors on the map represent dBZ or the display of echo intensity or reflectivity, which is how doppler radar interprets and measures data. The most intense parts of this hurricane are where the yellow, orange, and red hues are located.

as my family is from the Harrisburg area and I can identify with the river and roadways portrayed. Red areas usually indicate vegetation and in this case, wheat fields. Clean water will show up as a very dark, almost black tone, as you can see in the river.

Statistical Map

Cartogram

A cartogram is a thematic map where certain aspects are distorted to demonstrate a the value of something. This is a cartogram of the population of the continental US by county. You can see how distored the map has gotten; it is barely recognizable aside from the inlaid guidelines. If you look specifically at the counties in Florida, a state we know well, you can see which couties have the highest population concentration.
Scatterplot

This type of map is known as a scatterplot. This particular scatterplot shows the correlation between ages of husbands and wives. There is a fairly consistant relationship between the two. There is a very strong relationship in the early years and as the subjects get older the plot gets a little more scattered showing greater difference in age.
