• (A) create thematic maps, graphs, charts, models, and databases representing various aspects of the United States; and

• (B) pose and answer questions about geographic distributions and patterns shown on maps, graphs, charts, models, and databases.

How are we going to end this presentation?

• At the end of this presentation we will be requesting you to ask us questions concerning maps, graphs, charts, models, and databases THAT HAS TO DO WITH OUR POWERPOINT .

• Thematic maps are data maps of a specific subject or for a specific purpose.

• Statistical thematic maps include a variety of different map types such as:

• shaded maps, dot maps, proportional symbol maps, and isarithmic maps.
