21. What is a choropleth map?
A map used to show the average density (or concentration) of features such as population and rainfall

22. What is a choropleth map?
Each area that falls within a particular range is allocated an appropriate colour until the overall pattern is revealed.

23. What is a proportional circle map?
A map that uses symbols (shapes – generally circles) drawn in a proportional size of a represented variable.

24. What is a flowline map?
Flowline maps are designed to show movement – most commonly transports systems or flow of people with the use of arrows with the width of the arrow representing the amount.

25. Photographs
Ground photos are those taken at ground level with the camera pointed horizontally.
Aerial photos are taken from the air or a high point. They can be:
