What are the two main types of maps mentioned in the learning material?

• Topographic and Isoline

• Reference and Thematic

• Road and Cartogram

Which type of map uses colors, shades of one color, or patterns to show the location and distribution of spatial data?

• Dot-Density

• Graduated/Proportional Symbol

• Cartogram

• Choropleth

What is the purpose of Thematic Maps according to the document?

• To show natural features

• To communicate information about a place - spatial aspects - what is it like there?

• To provide general information for navigation

• To indicate political states and countries

What does a cartogram map show?

• The actual geographical size of countries

• The sizes of countries according to a specific variable

• The distance between two points

• The elevation of different areas

What is the purpose of isoline maps?

• To show the population density

• To indicate political boundaries

• To depict variations in data across space using lines of equal value
