Dot Distribution Map

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/standard/geography/population/distribution_density/revision/1/

This is an example of a Dot Distribution Map. Dots are used to describe a specific quantity, in this case one dot equals 100,000 people. This map shows the distribution of population density around the world. In this case the dots are non-proportional, meaning that the dot does not increase in size for areas with more people, simply more dots are placed in areas if there are more people there.
