MCQ
True or False
Solution
This statement is wrong.
Explanation:
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 to connect points with equal values, making them helpful for displaying changes in local altitude.
- 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.
