This map represents a bivariate choropleth map of Africa showing two variables, life expectancy and GNP per capita. It is a bit confusing to compare the chart and the map and figure out what is really what. Maybe the use of color for one and some type of pattern for the other would be easier to follow. There seems to be an interesting pattern of clustering in the north and south of high per capita combined with high life expectancy. The cartographer is also using a separate pie chart to show land use percentages which gives you another variable to consider.Link to website source:
