Standardized Chloropleth Maps


Standardized Chloropleth maps are very general in their data as well as their appearance and data. In this case this map represents the population of Canada under the age of 14. There is no official cesus data used in the evaluation of this map.

Isopleths

An isopleth is used in geography and meteorology and in this case the graph shows the chemical reactions in the atmosphere that create ozone. the colors coinside with the chart in amount of reactionary chemicals.

Isopach


Isopach graphs in this representation above show seismic activity fro a distance of a crater. These types of graphs show seismic activity genertated over a small area.

isohytes


Isohytes show lines in which equal amounts of rainfall are found on areas of the Earth. This is a representation of annual rainfall amounts over this area of land.

Star Plots

In this star plot the center of the graph represents the most desirable results of the data. It shows the benefits and downfalls of how the variables interact.

Correlation Matrix


A correlation matrix shows correllations between all pairs of of data sets. Correllation matrix's are used to show statistics and relationships between two types of of variables.

Similarity matrix


This graph shows the genetic similarities in cannabis. It is graphed to show complex codes in relatively simple form.
