Once selected, click Done and ensure that the map legend (or key) is showing by clicking on the appropriate icon to the top left of the screen. Doing this will enable you to see what colours/symbols represent high values and those that represent low values. You can then explore and compare the data layers.
If you are running this tutorial with your students, you indonesia rcs data may want to ask them to think about the following questions:
What patterns do both of your datasets show? What parts of West Yorkshire show particularly high and low values? Are there are reasons for this?
Do both datasets seem to correlate in any way – for example, do they both have high and low values in the same areas or are these rather different? Does this pattern match what you might have expected?
Can you think of any problems with presenting data in this way? Are the colours or symbols misleading?
Visit the Datashine website to compare your dataset(s) from 2001 to those from 2011. Are the patterns the same or have things changed? You will need to pan the map to find West Yorkshire and then use the menu (top right) to locate and map the data – you may find that your datasets(s) aren’t available to select though as the website only contains a selection.
