Rows and columns would each indicate a specific variable, in this example dark purple shows countries with a higher rate of cancer with women having no insurance, on the contrary gray is a much lower rate.<o:p></o:p></div><br />

For example the higher the objects attribute value the darker the color will be on the map. The map shown shows the fertility rate for women in Europe which shows the maximum at 2.27 which seems like it may be a lot higher in the United states. <o:p></o:p></div><br />

The way it works is by using sound waves and electromagnetic radio waves to analyze the weather. These systems were originally developed for the military but have since revolutionized weather prediction.<o:p></o:p></div><br />
