Cartogram
A map in which the sizes of regions are adjusted according to a specific variable, such as population or GDP, rather than geographical area.
Choropleth
A thematic map in which areas are shaded or patterned in proportion to the value of a variable being represented.
Graduated symbol map
A map that uses symbols of different sizes to represent different values of a variable.
Conformal projection
A map projection that preserves angles locally, making it useful for navigation but distorting area and distance.
Robinson
A type of map projection that attempts to balance distortions of size, shape, distance, and direction.
Equal area
A map projection that accurately represents areas on Earth, although shapes may be distorted.
Mercator
A cylindrical map projection that preserves angles and shapes, but distorts size and area, particularly near the poles.
Gall Peters
An equal-area map projection that distorts shapes but accurately represents relative sizes of landmasses.
Goode
A pseudocylindrical map projection that minimizes distortion of size and shape, particularly near the equator.
