distrabutions for a given area. The above profile shows the population
percentages for India in 2006.

PLSS
PLSS- Public land
Survey system maps show how the public land in the United States has been
divided and used by citizens. http://nationalatlas.gov/articles/boundaries/a_plss.html
Planimetric map
Planimetric Map- A planimetric map is a surface map that
shows no relief features. It is a two dimensional map. This map of Downtown San
Diego is a good example because it shows the streets and where certain buildings
are located without really showing any physical features of the land. http://mappery.com/Downtown-San-Diego-Tourist-Map
Hypsometric Map
Hypsometric Map- A hypsometric map shows the relief features
of an area. It is a map that represents the three dimensions of land. This can
be done using contour lines, or colors and shaping. This map of Australia uses
colors to show different elevations thus giving the map the ability to show
three dimensions. http://www.uow.edu.au/~markus/australia.html
Flow map
Flow Map- A Flow map shows the path of entities across a
surface. The path depicted on the map may be the physical path the entity took
or it may be a desire line, a line that shows the general direction the entity
traveled but it may not be the literal path. The map above shows the routes
that Alaskan airlines flights take. And while the lines show a smooth path from
one stop to the next it may not be physical route taken. http://www.alaskaair.com/content/route-map.aspx

Digital Orthographic Quarter- Quads
Digital orthographic quarter-quads- DOQQ’s are aerial
photographs that have been geofourced and orthorectified. The world is round,
therefore when aerial photos are taken the area closest to the camera is the
largest and the further from the camera the smaller the area becomes. This image of Florida has been flattened as
to show the true area. http://www.theatlantic.com/alexis-madrigal/page/3/
Digital Elevation Models
Digital elevation models- DEM’s are a digital file that show
three dimensional images that show terrain elevations and can be colorized to
show relief. This map of Mt Rainier is a digital creation that uses three dimensional
technology to show the elevation of the mountain. http://www.watershedsciences.com/services/lidar

Scatterplot
Scatterplot- a scatterplot is a graph that shows the relationship
between two factors. Scatterplots can be used to find the correlation between
to factors, if they create a trend line they are related but if they do not
create a trend line then they are not. The above image shows six different
scatterplots, some that have a direct correlation and some that do not. http://cshsyear10maths.global2.vic.edu.au/using-data/v-scatter-plots/
