Can a terrain map be drawn with triangles? This global relief map turns elevation and ocean depth into proportional symbols, running in twelve classes from trenches more than 10,000 metres deep to high continental ground. Switching between triangle, circle and square symbol sets shows how mark shape changes the way identical data reads, making it a hands-on lesson in thematic cartography for students, designers and GIS educators.
