Chloropleth Maps

Chloropleth maps are a form for thematic maps that uses colors to show data for a particular region. These maps can depict a number of things such population density,particular races in a region, economic income and so on. It is important when making these maps to use colors that resemble eachother to represent areas of greater data and areas of less data. The map I have provided show the populations in certain regions of the world. When viewing this map it is important to take into account its credibility, due to its lack of detail it would not be a good map to base non-generalized info off of.
