Cartographic Animations

Cartographic animations are implemented using GIS.  Cartographic animations allow the user to become more immersed in the map itself, by creating realistic digital effects.  A good example of this could be a projected hurricane path, which most of us have probably seen.  This image is a still frame of a cartographic animation that shows the movement of the Indo-European language.
