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 2008 election, Mr. Obama won most of the counties containing major urban centers. He also won much of California, coastal Washington and Oregon, northern New Mexico, Central Colorado, much of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and northern Illinois. He also won southern Texas, the counties along the southern Mississippi River, a zone extending from central Mississippi through central Alabama, South Carolina and eastern North Carolina. He also won most of the counties on the eastern seaboard from Washington and Baltimore northeast through New England. Mr. McCain won most of the interior of the country outside of those areas previously mentioned. Mr. McCain won the Alaskan municipalities while Mr. Obama won the counties of Hawaii.

A map shows the distribution of neritic and pelagic sediments in the world's oceans shown with various colors.

Composition and distribution of ocean sediments.

Distribution of neritic (nearshore) and pelagic (open ocean) sediments

Abyssal clay, shown in medium green, dominates the vast expanses of the central Pacific Ocean, parts of the South Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. Calcareous ooze, depicted in lighter green, is found prominently in the North and South Atlantic Ocean, around the equator in the Pacific Ocean, and near the western coasts of South America and Central America. It is also found in the South Indian Ocean. Continental (lithogenous) sediments, marked in light blue-green, are concentrated along the continental margins, particularly around the Mediterranean Sea, the eastern and western coasts of North America, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the coastlines of Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Diatomaceous sediments, shown in medium blue-green, are prevalent in regions near the Antarctic Circle, indicating cold, nutrient-rich waters. Radiolarian sediments, highlighted in forest green, are scattered in parts of the central Pacific and Indian Oceans. Other types of sediments, represented in dark green, are found in patches across oceanic regions.
