Cartograms Map

 


 

http://www.worldpopulationatlas.org/

This is an example of a cartogram map.  Cartograms distort the distance, area, and shape of the continents to show the population size within the country relative to its size.  Since India, and China have the worlds highest populations, both of the countries are more than three times the size they actually are.  Areas with large amounts of land like the continent of South America decreases in size because of the lower levels of their population.
