explain the use and types of distributional maps
Answers
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.
Distribution maps represent information for a specific subject, showing what the subject is, where it is and how often it occurs. These maps can portray physical, social, political, cultural, economic, sociological, agricultural, or any other aspects of a city, state, region, nation, or continent. Distribution maps show segregation, clustering and colour shading.
