Cartographic animations

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animated_mapping

Cartographic animations use moving pictures to show the change of one variable over space. This example shows the movement, over time sped up for ease of use, of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. The animation helps show how geography changed the tsunami flow. The map also shows the locations that were heavily hit by the wave.
