The above map is a bivariate choropleth map showing land use, life expectancy and GNP per capita in Africa from 1989. A bivariate choropleth map displays two variable on a single map (in the top map it is showing two different variables - land use and GNP per capita). The main objective to this is to find a simple method for accurately and graphically issultrate the relationship between the two variables.
