  1. Choropleth maps

  2. Dot maps

  3. Scatter plots

  4. Pie charts

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pie charts are not commonly used in geographical visualization as they are not suitable for representing spatial data.

What is the primary purpose of using choropleth maps in geographical visualization?

  1. To show the distribution of a quantitative variable across a geographical area

  2. To show the boundaries of different geographical regions

  3. To show the movement of people or goods between different locations

  4. To show the physical features of a geographical area

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Choropleth maps are used to visualize the distribution of a quantitative variable across a geographical area by assigning different colors or shades to different ranges of values.

Which of the following is an example of a dot map?

  1. A map showing the distribution of population density across India

  2. A map showing the location of major cities in India

  3. A map showing the movement of monsoon winds across India

  4. A map showing the physical features of India

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dot maps are used to visualize the distribution of point data, such as the location of cities or towns, by placing a dot at each data point.

What is the main advantage of using scatter plots in geographical visualization?

  1. They allow for the identification of patterns and relationships between two variables

  2. They can be used to show the distribution of a quantitative variable across a geographical area
