Infrared Aerial Photo

This color infrared aerial photo is of a portion of Willapa Bay in Washington. The green portions are showing a vegetation layer with the red outlines representing oyster agtriculture areas. This infrared aerial photograph gives the ability to show the effects of aquaculture and pest control strategies. http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/AR/archive/may08/oyster0508.htm

Cartographic Animation Map

This map explains seasonal temperature variations in terms of latitudinal and seasonal variations within the surface energy balance. The reason these are called animation maps is because when they are in motion they are able to tell certain things such as types of weather patterns. This map is able to show seasonal weather patterns throughout different times of the year.

Statistical Map

The main point of a statistical map is to explain exactly that...STATISTICS! Within this very map you are able to see the statistics of adult obesity within each state of the U.S. in a three year average from 2007-2009. It shows the state with the lowest obesity rate being Colorado at 16.9% and the state with the highest obesity rate being Mississippi at 29.5%. The correspondance of the percentages are slightly different from this map to the one within the posted url, I am not exactly sure as to why but I am sorry for any confusion.

Cartogram

This is a cartogram representing the global population, the relative size corresponds with relative population respectfully, by people living within each country. Judging by this map you can see the Japan and China are given more surface area than they actually have in real life. But when taking into consideration that this map is about population size it then make sense the portion size of each of these countries; especialyl in comparison to north and south america. http://www.infovis.net/printMag.php?num=197&lang=2

Flow Map

Within this flow map we can clearly see that this is a representation of the flow of different freight train routes. This specific train route goes all over the United States including some part of almost every siate. We know that this is a flow map because it is showing that there is movement of some sort of object from one place to another. http://www.texastrimodal.com/11.html

Isoline Map

This picture is of an isoline map because it is showing continuous lines which join points of the same value. A weather map like this can be used to represent different altitudes, wind speeds, and temperatures. This perticular map is showing barometric pressures within the US.

Proportional Circle Map

A Proportional Circle map judges number amounts based on the "proportion" of the circle within the area. For example within this map the larger the blue dot the more walmart's there are within that specific state. Judging by this map the most amount of wamarts are in texas with over one hundred and the least amount of walmarts is in vermont with about five.
