Scatterplot

Scatterplot plots each observation as a point on the graph. A trend line is generally plotted with the scatter plots. The trend line can indicate whether there is a positive or negative relationship between the observations. Positive meaning both variables are increasing; negative meaning on variable increases while the other decreases.

The graph show is a Scatterplot graph of "Earthquake magnitude and Depth Data." The occurrences are plotted based on the Latitude and Longitude that they occur on. The Magnitude is shown by the size of the dot. The depth is defined by the color of the dot.
