    a) http://www.rayfowler.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/map_world_religions.gif
    b) The map of Faits (religions)
    c) I found this map very informative, because one can easily find out about any nation's religion. It is amazing that the biggest percentage goes to Muslims, even though India and China that have almost half of the world's population that are not Muslim (exception for some minor percentage). Also I learned that 13.3% of World's religions are Hindus

   b) The map that shows Seismic regions.
   c) I like this map because it represents regions that have seismic hazard. It would be great guideline for people that want to avoid earthquakes to look for new places to leave. Also i think this seismic places also describe regions that have mountains.

    b) This map shows the internet connections between cities of the world.
    c) I found this map interesting because it is unusual, this is a map that shows internet connections between   world's cities. One interesting thing i saw was the dense internet network between US, Canada and Europe.
