question 14 of 19
how does a choropleth map visually differentiate between different data values?
through changing the map scale
through varying line thickness
through different map symbols
through the use of color

Explanation:

Define choropleth map characteristics

A choropleth map is a thematic map where areas are shaded, colored, or patterned in proportion to a statistical variable.

Evaluate the given options

• "Through changing the map scale": Map scale determines the ratio of distance on the map to distance on the ground, not data values.
• "Through varying line thickness": Line thickness is typically used in flow maps or isoline maps.
• "Through different map symbols": Symbols are used in dot distribution or proportional symbol maps.
• "Through the use of color": Choropleth maps use color shading, hues, or intensities to represent different data values.

Answer:

• Through changing the map scale
• Through varying line thickness
• Through different map symbols
• Through the use of color (Correct answer)
