Cartographic Animations

Cartographic Animations


Cartographic animation maps are wonderful tools to display changes in an area over time. Though they have the downfall that they can only be used digitally because of the animation, they are a great alternative to viewing multiple maps of an area, and offer the viewer a chance to see the progress of a situation. The map below is a time lapse animation map which shows changes in Earth's wind velocity over the course of a year.
