World Time Zone Map

This is a map showing all the different time zones throughout our world. It shows which time zones are ahead of or behind coordinated universal time. I find this map very interesting because I have family throughout a couple different time zones. I live in California right now, while most of my parents family live in Italy, my parents and brothers live in Florida, and I have a brother in Spain right now.

Political Map of Europe

What this map is showing is the continent of Europe and all the nations capitals and secondary cities. This map doesn't go into to much geographic detail but it does show some of the major rivers. I find this map interesting because Europe is such a diverse continent filled with so many nations that are interconnected and this map clearly defines the borders which helps to show the diversity of so many different ethnic countries.

Physical Map of Italy

This map shows the morality rate for white males with a lung, trachea, and pleura cancer in the state of North Carolina. It shows the the regions which have passed their general expectations and regions below expectations. This map also compares the at risk rate, deaths, and ADJ rate of North Carolina with all of the United States. I find this map interesting because it takes years and years of data and research and it puts it into a visual form, a map.
