Triangular plot map


This map is a different kind of tool because it is one of the only maps that uses three characteristics or features when trying to present data. This map explains how certain individuals within a species are related to one another through common ancestry, which is done by the mapping of their genes. A triangular plot is very useful in this technique and any in which the main abject is kind of to break something down and really see its composition and out of what its made. With most maps, the goal is to explain the unknown to the reader and to help them form an image of the thing that they cannot visualize for themselves. Sometimes this is through inference and making predictions, which is true with triangular plots, but it is done by looking at the pieces of the information and trying to find the answers.
