Cartographic animation maps, also called data visualizations, refer to the very numerical and computer driven animations(computer simulations) of complex earth processes. For example, a cartographic animation map could be a computer simulation of water mixing processes in the deep ocean using computational visualizations. In this way, cartographic animations allow people to "see" earth phenomena and processes not readily visible in the real world. The above image is another example of a cartographic animation map, which was clearly created using computer driven animations. Here, this simulation is depicting a relief map of the natural terrain.
