Cartographic Animation


Cartographic animation is the use of animation through videos or computers in order to add a time-based factor to a map. This displays change in some dimension that is typically displayed as an “over time” effect. The animation is typically shown at a much faster, or slower rate, to show the viewer the desired effect. Cartographic animation is used to show the effects of things such as tsunamis, thunderstorms, and hurricanes to show how the component spreads across the region.
