Distribution maps can show how measurements vary across areas using three main types: dot maps represent values like population with dots, choropleth maps use color shades to depict variations of a measurement across a uniform area, and isopleth maps simplify continuous distributions with lines connecting equal values allowing interpolation between them.

Distribution of maps
- 1. Distribution of Maps Grade – 9 Geography
- 2. Distribution maps can be used to see how measurement changes across different areas.There are three major types of distributional maps. They are: • Dot Distribution or Density map – This map is easy to use and makes use of dots to indicate a value in an area such as population distribution. One dot can be used to represent a specific number of people. • Choropleth map – Dots are replaced by a various shades of the same color or different colors. These maps depict the intensity of a variant. They represent how one measurement differs across the same area. • Isopleth Map - Isopleth maps simplify information about a region by showing areas with continuous distribution. Isopleth maps may use lines to show areas where elevation, temperature, rainfall, or some other quality is the same; values between lines can be interpolated.
