Cartograms are a type of Thematic map that express a specific variable of an area. They often express statistical information collected over a certain period of time. The map above shoes the carbon monoxide production in the world. By distorting the countries to fit their production of carbon monoxide, the cartogram is able to offset the way we usually look at the world and relay vital information. The bigger the country, the more carbon monoxide it produces each year.
