Cartographic animations


    Cartographic animations are used to portray certain movement across a body of land or water. Cartographic animations are commonly used on news channels to show the weather. They do this by using a commonly used cartographic animation called radar. The picture shown above is a cartographic animation of hurricane Katrina, this is a snap shot of the projection on where the hurricane was thought to travel.
