Answers
The different types of distribution maps are
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Dots Map: It uses dots to represent the value of an area. One dot is usually equal to 1000 people. It helps to identify patterns and is easy to understand
2. Chloropleth Map: Different or a range of colours is used in this type. It is more useful when defining regions are important for a discussion
3. Distribution Map: This map uses circles to represent values. Since they show absolute values and percentages can be derived from these values, it is useful where actual data needs to be discussed
4. Isoline Map: Lines of equal value or similar colours/patterns are used in this map. It is useful to show gradual change over a period of time.
