Editing Animated mapping (section)

{{short description|Application of animation to add a temporal component to a map displaying change}}
'''Animated mapping''' is the application of [[animation]], either a computer or video, to add a temporal component to a [[map]] displaying change in some dimension. Most commonly the change is shown over [[time]], generally at a greatly changed scale (either much faster than real-time or much slower). An example would be the animation produced after the 2004 tsunami showing how the waves spread across the Indian Ocean.
