  1. Regular maps

  2. Distributional maps

  3. Country maps

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To draw distributional maps, we need statistical data of the variables. There are three ways to show distributional maps:

  • Dot method
  • Choropleth Method
  • Isopleth Method

Which of the following is/are the way to show distribution on maps?

  1. Dot method

  2. Choropleth method

  3. Isopleth method

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Distribution in maps is nothing but the distribution of variables like temperature, rainfall and population which can be shown in maps. Distributions can be shown in the following ways:

  • Dot Method
  • Choropleth Method
  • Isopleth Method

Which of the following process are used to collect data for Choropleth maps?

  1. Measurement

  2. Survey

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In these maps, the data regarding various geographical variables is shown by shades or tints of various colours. While making such maps, the data used for different variables is obtained through various processes such as measurement, surveying etc.

On which maps dots are used to show its distribution?

  1. Choropleth maps

  2. Dot maps

  3. Isopleth maps

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A dot maps is prepared using statistical data. While preparing dot maps, only data gathered through counting is used. The way a variable is distributed throughout the region, the dots are used to show its distribution on the map.

What is used to show the geographical variables on Choropleth maps?

  1. Dots

  2. Shades or tints of various colours

  3. Lines

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In these maps, the data regarding various geographical variables is shown by shades or tints of various colours. While making such maps, the data used for different variables is obtained through various processes.

When the distribution of variable is continuous, which method is used to show its distribution?

  1. Choropleth method

  2. Dot method

  3. Isopleth method

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: C

In how many ways distribution can be shown on maps?

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. Four

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Distribution in maps is nothing but the distribution of variables like temperature, rainfall and population which can be shown in maps. Distributional maps are of three type:-

  • Dot Method
  • Choropleth Method
  • Isopleth Method

How the distribution through dot method are shown on maps?

  1. Size of dots

  2. Density of the variable

  3. Scale of the map

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

To show distribution through dot method, we need to consider the size of the dot, the density of the variable and the scale of the map. The number of the dots to be given for the value of variable in each sub-administrative unit need to be decided first.

Which data are used to prepare dot maps?

  1. Statistical data

  2. Geographical data

  3. Normal data

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A dot maps is prepared using statistical data. While preparing dot maps, only data gathered through counting is used. The way a variable is distributed throughout the region, the dots are used to show its distribution on the map.

Which of the following precautions should be taken while using dot method for map?

  1. The size of a dot should be uniform

  2. The distribution of physiography, water sources, transport system, etc. of a region should be considered while placing dots on a map.

  3. While showing population distribution, rural population is shown by dots and circles are used to show urban population.

  4. All of above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Following precautions should be taken while using dot method for maps:-

  • The size of a dot should be uniform.
  • The distribution of physiography, water sources, transport system, etc. of a region should be considered while placing dots on a map.
  • While showing population distribution, rural population is shown by dots and circles are used to show urban population.
