Choropleth Map



A Choropleth map is a type of thematic map in which areas are colored or shaded to reflect the value of the mapped phenomenon or to display classes of values. It is a type of thematic map in which areas are shaded or patterned in proportion to the measurement of the statistical variable being displayed on the map. The choropleth map provides an easy way to visualize how a measurement varies across a geographic area. This map represents a choropleth map because it gives a break-down of Australian Climate classification with the use of colors that represent a varity of climate conditions.
