Black and White Aerial Photo II (52)
http://album.atlantahistorycenter.com/store/Products/79212-atlanta-fulton-county-stadium.aspx
The black and white picture above is of Atlanta, Ga. Up front you can see the old Fulton County Stadium, where the Atlanta Braves played when they originally moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee. Past the stadium, which has since been demolished and Turner Field has been constructed, you can see downtown Atlanta.

Flow Map II (51)
http://www.mundi.net/maps/maps_014/
The map pictured above is a handcrafted telecommunications traffic flow map for the European region. I thought this map was interesting because of what it maps. Mapping the flows of goods and people is relatively easy, but mapping communications of the Net is much more difficult, but this map does an excellent job of it and is considered to be one of the better flow maps of telecommunications for the region.

Population Profile (50)
A Population Profile shows the age and gender distrution of the population for a given area. Pictured above is population profile for Eastern Cape in South Africa.

Above is a climograph for southern Alabama. Climograph are used to show average monthly temperature and precipitation for a certain area, they help to show the relationship between temperature and rainfall.

Scatter Plot (47)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scatter_plot
A Scatter Plot uses an X and Y axis to chart point on a coordinate. Scatter plots are used to help determine if there is a correlation between two variables. For example if you put temperature on the x axis and ice cream sales on the y axis, one could assume that as temperatures climbed so would ice cream sales.

Index Value Plot (46)

The Index Value Plot above shows average rainfall in the US from 1999 to 2012. Instead of starting at an abosolute number, an index value plot uses an index which is derived from a formula using the raw data given. Once you have the index, it can be used to create a visual graph of your data in an index value plot,

An accumulative line graph, also known as a Lorenz curve, is most commonly used in economics.The Lorenz curve shown above illustrates the cumulative share of the income earned by people from lowest to highest incomes.

Bilateral graph (44)

Bilateral Graphs compare two or more sets of data in a visual graph, very similar to a bar graph, only with more bars. This particular Bilateral graph shows how certain countries approve or disapprove of the performance of leadership of China.

Triangular Plots are used to combine and compare three different variables. In this case we are looking at the three major political parties in the UK.
