Distributional Maps
Distributional maps show how phenomena like population, rainfall, or resources are spread across an area, using colours, symbols, or dots.
Core concept
Choropleth maps use different colours or shading to represent varying values of data, like population density, across different regions.
How it works
Dot maps use dots to represent quantities, with each dot representing a specific value, useful for showing distribution patterns like population.
Why it matters
Isopleth maps use lines connecting points of equal value, like isotherms (equal temperature) or isohyets (equal rainfall).
Key detail
Distributional maps help us visually understand patterns and variations in geographic phenomena across different regions.

Quick notes
• Choropleth maps: colours/shading show varying values.
• Example: population density by region.
• Dot maps: dots represent quantities.
• Each dot = specific value.
• Isopleth maps: lines connect equal values.
• Examples: isotherms (temp), isohyets (rainfall).
• These maps show geographic patterns.
• They help visualise regional variations.
