This isotach shows the 2003 Utah winter strom wind speed.

Isohyets

Isohyets show line joining of equal precipitation. This shows the Madison County rainfall.

Isopach

Isopaches show the strategic thickness of a rock unit as opposed to the true vertical thickness. This is showing isopach trends.

Isopleth

An isopleth shows the equal value of some variable at a given time and spatial area. This isopleth shows how acid rain affects areas.

DRG

This digital raster graphic shows the USGS digital GIS application for Alton.

DLG

This digital line graph shows vector representations of most of the features and attributes shown on USGS topographic maps. This is the three layers for USGS Bushkill, PA quadrangle. There are only three scales for these graphs:

small (1:2,000,000)

intermediate (1:100,000)

large (1:24,000)

DEM

This digital elevation model is showing the different elevations in southern Tunisia.

DOQQ

This digital orthophoto quarter quadrangle is showing 10 DOQQ's of Lake Travis.

Continuously Variable Proportional Circle Map

The circles are in proportion to the variable being measured--this is showing the major industries in west Germany.

Classed Choropleth Maps

This choropleth map is investigating the quality of life in Brazil.

Bivariate Choropleth Map

This is showing two variables of population is 1997 and the median. It is shown with a variety of different color greens.

Univariate Choropleth Map

This map has one variable of Individuals in the U.S. This map is showing the percent of individuals in a given area.

Index Value Plot

FTAS Tracker (March 1995- Jan 2006) made an analysis of daily value relative to rolling (1-2 months) average, by date of month. These plots usually demonstrate current streamflow vs. historical.

Scatterplot

This scatterplot shows heart disease data from the UCI repository. You will notice there is more commonly heart disease in the older population than those in their early 30's.
