This is an example of an environmental sensitivity map. They are used to show the risk that the coastal resources have if an oil spill were to occur. According to this map, the resources inside the circles are the most at risk.

Bathymetric Map


This is an example of a Bathymetric map. Bathymetric maps are used to represent accurate information of the submerged terrain. It is just the opposite of a topographic map. The topographic maps are used to show the terrain from an uphill angle.

Isopleths Map


This isopleths map shows the total precipitation in the U.S. for 1996. According to the key, the mid western states received less than or equal to 20 cm, as where the far western states (Washington), received greater than or equal to 200 cm. An isopleths map is generally used to simplify information within a region.
