Guess the map 13: Mercator maps are cool, actually

[EnglishEdward]

Not directly.

Cryptic clue number 2:

Each colour represents a range of average displacements.

 

[Samson]

Car engine size?

 

[EnglishEdward]

No, nothing to do with cars or engines; albeit something to do with size.

 

[Samson]

displacements.

I never knew that word has so many meanings, I can see why you choose it for your crypticness

 

[GinandTonic]

Water usage by height v water scarcity by colour?

 

[EnglishEdward]

Water = No, Height = Yes, Scarcity = No, Colour = No

 

[Qactus]

home evictions?

 

[Samson]

I think is best to ignore the elevated states with lines as they merely
pointed to examples I had to delete and backtracking that won't help.

Height = Yes

Can i confirm if California, Wyoming, Kansas, Texas, Illinois, New York, North Carolina and Florida are special 'cos they were chosen as examples, or if there is something real that makes them special?

 

[Kyriakos]

Areas becoming barren? (desert, other)

Or maybe it is trailer parks

I don't think that there was anything special.
]I think the map illustrator wanted to point to an
example of each colour with such examples
selected being almost equally spaced out on the map.

Cryptic clue number 3:

The average displacements I mentioned before are measured in whole inches and fractions of an inch.

 

[amadeus]

Is it exclusive to same-sex relationships?

 

[mitsho]

Tectonics? Raising and sinking of the highest points in each state?

 

[EnglishEdward]

I reckon half the population there regard it as weird, the other half regard it as something beginning with 'f'

The 'f' is short for fashion.

 

[Samson]

Is red smallest? So something like dress size / skirt length?

 

[EnglishEdward]

@Samson

Red represents the greater average displacements.

But you are getting much warmer.

It is not breast enlargements is it?

 

[EnglishEdward]

Good guess, but no. It is external to the body.

 

[Samson]

Hat size?

 

[Kyriakos]

Cell phones? (or cars)

 

[Qactus]

Hmm, fashion and is measured in inches...

Average cleavage of dresses?
Average height of heels?
