A graduated symbol map is a type of thematic map that uses symbols of varying sizes to represent the relative magnitude of a particular attribute at different locations on the map.
For example, a graduated symbol map could be used to represent the population density of different areas by using symbols, such as circles, that vary in size based on the population density at that location.
The larger the symbol, the higher the population density. This type of map is often used to show the distribution of a particular attribute, such as population, income, or temperature, across a geographic area.
The goal of a graduated symbol map is to provide a visual representation of the magnitude of the attribute being mapped, allowing the viewer to quickly understand the patterns and trends in the data.
