Cartographic Animiations

Cartographic Animations help show differences in time through an animated map. These animations can be based on time (temporal) or another basis other than time (non-temporal).Cartographic animations are similar to the mapping system The Weather Channel uses to show past weather and predicated weather; These would be temporal cartographic Animations.


The map shown is a Cartographic Animation of the Weather in the Caribbean. It would show the weather over a certain period of time (temporal) if you clicked on the link.
