A map shows wheat production in North America in metric tons. More than 5,000,000 is shaded dark red. 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 is shaded red. 100,000 to 1,000,000 is shaded orange. Less than 100,000 is shaded light orange.

A map shows global language families. Afro-Asiatic (red) in North Africa, Altaic (blue) in Central Asia, Amerindian and Indo-European (purple) in the Americas, Aboriginal Australian (orange) in Australia, and Austro-Asiatic (yellow) in Southeast Asia.

The predominant language families of Australia and Oceania. Language families are groups of languages related through descent from a common ancestral language.

The map shows striking regional differences in the percentage of change in the population of counties in the United States between 2000 and 2010. In the Northeast and Midwest, most counties either had small gains of between 0 and 4.9 percent or lost between 0 and –5 percent. In a few counties in upstate New York, western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and parts of northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, losses exceeded 5 percent. Western Ohio, northern Indiana, much of Illinois, and eastern Iowa experienced modest declines of between 0 and –5 percent. At the same time, population increased by 5 to 14.9 percent in southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, and parts of Indiana and Ohio. In the South, many areas showed strong growth—from 5 to 14.9 percent and higher—including Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Counties lost population (between 0 and –5 percent, with significant numbers of counties less than –5 percent) in West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and northern Louisiana. From the Northern Plains to Texas, a vast area of rural counties lost significant numbers of residents—declines of more than –5 percent in many counties. This population loss is most evident in eastern Montana, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, western Iowa, Kansas, southeastern Wyoming, Colorado, and West Texas. In contrast, counties in the Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, and Southwest often experienced strong growth—from 5 to 14.9 percent and higher—as exemplified by western Montana, southern Idaho, most of Wyoming and Colorado, parts of New Mexico, much of Nevada, and virtually all of Utah and Arizona. The Pacific coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California also grew, except for eastern Oregon, which saw declines from 0 to –5 percent and less. Hawaii’s population grew by more than 14.9 percent. In Alaska, the counties around Anchorage and Fairbanks also made strong gains, whereas other counties declined or grew slightly.

A world map shows water resources vulnerability.

Measure of projected water stress in the year 2020; water stress is the ratio of total annual water withdrawals to total available annual renewable supply.

Water Resources Vulnerability

Areas shaded in light yellow represent regions with arid and low water use, predominantly found in parts of Australia (central regions), Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Mauritania, and Yemen. Regions with low vulnerability, less than 10 percent, are shown in light orange and are primarily located in most parts of Africa, South America, Canada, Russia, most of Asia. Areas with low-medium vulnerability, ranging from 10 to 20 percent, are depicted in orange and are scattered throughout some parts of Japan and U S A, some parts of Asia and Europe. Medium-high vulnerability areas, between 20 to 40 percent, are shown in light red and are mainly found in South Africa, China, and many more. High vulnerability regions, ranging from 40 to 80 percent, are shaded in red and are located in parts of U S A, Europe, and Asia. Areas with extremely high vulnerability, over 80 percent, are shown in dark red and include most of U S A and Asia. Some areas such as Greenland and South Pole are marked with a gray shade, indicating no data available for those regions.

The 2000 presidential election in the United States pitted Republican George W. Bush against Democrat Al Gore. This layer portrays the popular vote results at the county and county-equivalent level. The map portrays the winner of the popular vote while data probing, placing the mouse over a county, displays the percentage of the vote for each candidate and the total number of votes cast. In the 2000 election, Mr. Bush won the majority of counties and county equivalents. Mr. Gore won the popular vote in the following areas. First, he won the vote in most of the major urban centers. Exceptions were Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Salt Lake City, and Indianapolis. Mr. Gore also won in northern Arizona, northern New Mexico, southern Colorado, along the southern half of the Mississippi River, extreme southern Texas, a zone extending from central Alabama through central Georgia, into eastern North Carolina. Mr. Gore won in the Appalachian mountains and the majority of counties in New England. Mr. Bush won the Alaskan municipalities while Mr. Gore won the counties of Hawaii.
