Cartographic Animation

Cartographic animation is animation of map that has movement or show a change in something. These kinds of map are need to be used by computers or video so the change can be seen. Most of the maps I've looked at are the change in temperature which the one above is. Its a never ending cycle for these maps because they keep the movement alive. Cartographic animation is more of a high tech map that cane be seen on the weather channels when a storm is approaching. The map above is definitely a temperature map because of the colors and the way the movements are. The blue goes up for summer then comes back down for winter (if you are looking from top-down).
