Explanation should include
- the process by which data are converted to visual representations (e.g., graphs, 3D models, charts, maps, vectors, rasters, coordinates)
- applications in a variety of fields (e.g., medicine, meteorology, topography)
- platforms
- interfaces.

Process/Skill Questions:
- What is the difference between vectors and rasters?
- How is this difference important in data visualization?
- What are the relative strengths of the different visualization tools?
- How can one determine the best way to present numeric data?
- How can data be misrepresented?
- How does interactivity change the impact of data visualization, negatively and/or positively?
- What are potential uses of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (XR) in communicating complex information?
- What are some sources of bias that might occur in data visualization?
- How can sources of bias be mitigated?
