Give reasons why the following sentences are right or wrong :Choropleth maps are used to show altitudes.

Answer»

Wrong. 

Isopleth maps and not the choropleth maps are used to show altitude.

  • When the distribution of a variable is continuous like the altitude, the 
  • isopleth method map is used. Isopleth maps use lines joining the locations having equal values and hence are useful to show the change in altitude in the region. 
  • When the distribution of a variable is discontinuous, the choropleth method map is used to show its distribution, eg. distribution of population, domestic animals, etc.
