Question

Answer in brie
1) Explain the use and types of
distributional maps.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A properly made distributional map makes it easy to visualize how a certain variable or element varies over a region. It can be used to represent qualitative data like vegetation or soil in a region or quantitative data like population density or average annual rainfall in a region.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Distribution maps can be used to see how measurement changes across different areas. There are three major types of distributional maps. They are: # Dot Distribution or Density map – This map is easy to use and makes use of dots to indicate a value in an area such as population distribution.

Briefly:

THEMATIC MAPS - DEFINITION

THEMATIC MAPS - DEFINITIONThematic maps show a particular feature or theme of the area like vegetation, climate, population density, etc. All types of cultural maps, most of the atlas maps, industrial maps, agricultural maps, military maps, linguistic maps fall in this category.

ISOPLETH METHOD - DEFINITION

ISOPLETH METHOD - DEFINITIONThe method by which the distribution of any attribute is shown with the help of lines of equal values, in a map are called isopleth method. For these maps we need the accurate data of a particular attribute such as altitude, temperature, rainfall, etc of some place of a particular region.

CHOROPLETH METHOD - DEFINITION

CHOROPLETH METHOD - DEFINITIONIn the choropleth method, the data of various geographical variables are shown by shades or tints of various colours. While drawing these maps the data is obtained through measurement, surveying etc. Generally, a darker shade or more closely spaced pattern is used to represent larger quantities of the phenomenon and a lighter shade or more sparsely spaced pattern is used to represent smaller quantities.

DOT METHOD - DEFINITION

DOT METHOD - DEFINITION A dot map, is a map that uses a dot symbol to show the distribution of a feature or phenomenon. These maps are prepared using statistical data. To show the distribution through dot method, the value of a dot has to be determined. The number of dots and the size of the dots are also considered while drawing these maps.
