Cartographic Animation Map





Cartographic animation maps have the ability to show change over time. The most practical example of that is what Floridian’s generally see every summer and that is the path of hurricanes. This map can physically move and rotate just as they predict the hurricane is going to so that people can prepare themselves if it is heading their way. This particular map shows Hurricane Ivan which hit Florida in 2004, with the colors indicating where the most severe parts of the storm are and also where there are tornado watches and warnings.
