Our world is neither flat nor static, hence the need
of effective animation content to depict events over a temporal period.
Time is the 4th dimension.
Cartographic multimedia showing elements of time can
help us understand complex processes.
Temporal animations contribute by recreating
events over time. This helps us to foster an better understanding
of geospatial phenomeona from the past, which in turn helps us to understand
and predict the future.
Animation can also help us travel
throughout digital worlds to gain knowledge of spatial
relationships.
