Cartographic Animation

This is a .gif that serves as a cartographic animation of the 2004 Indonesian tsunami. It shows the point of origin as it travels across the ocean and impacts land. Cartographic animation is a form of mapping that uses an animated image to show a change or a process developing such as a hurricane traveling or temperature changes as seen on a radar projection on a televised weather station to show a moving change overtop of a map.
