Which of the following is NOT a common method of data representation in Indian geography?

  1. Choropleth maps

  2. Dot maps

  3. Pie charts

  4. Bar graphs


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pie charts are not commonly used in Indian geography because they are not as effective as other methods at showing spatial relationships.

What is the purpose of a choropleth map?

  1. To show the distribution of a variable across a region

  2. To show the relationship between two variables

  3. To show the movement of people or goods

  4. To show the physical features of a region


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Choropleth maps are used to show the distribution of a variable across a region by shading areas according to the value of the variable.

What is the difference between a dot map and a choropleth map?

  1. Dot maps show the distribution of a variable across a region, while choropleth maps show the relationship between two variables.

  2. Dot maps show the movement of people or goods, while choropleth maps show the physical features of a region.

  3. Dot maps use dots to represent data, while choropleth maps use shaded areas.

  4. Dot maps are more accurate than choropleth maps.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Dot maps use dots to represent data, while choropleth maps use shaded areas to represent data.

What is the purpose of a bar graph?

  1. To show the distribution of a variable across a region

  2. To show the relationship between two variables

  3. To show the movement of people or goods

  4. To show the physical features of a region


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bar graphs are used to show the relationship between two variables by plotting the values of one variable on the x-axis and the values of the other variable on the y-axis.

What is the purpose of a line graph?

  1. To show the distribution of a variable across a region

  2. To show the relationship between two variables

  3. To show the movement of people or goods

  4. To show the physical features of a region


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Line graphs are used to show the movement of people or goods over time by plotting the values of the variable on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of data visualization used in Indian geography?

  1. Choropleth maps

  2. Dot maps

  3. Pie charts

  4. Scatter plots


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Scatter plots are not commonly used in Indian geography because they are not as effective as other methods at showing spatial relationships.

What is the purpose of a scatter plot?

  1. To show the distribution of a variable across a region

  2. To show the relationship between two variables

  3. To show the movement of people or goods

  4. To show the physical features of a region


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Scatter plots are used to show the relationship between two variables by plotting the values of one variable on the x-axis and the values of the other variable on the y-axis.
