For this chart, the trend is expressed as zero degrees Fahrenheit (0˚F) on the left vertical axis and zero degrees Celsius (0˚C) on the right vertical axis. Each point on the graph represents the extent of the deviation of each temperature reading from this calculated trend. USCRN average temperature anomaly for contiguous United States
The figure on the right displaying a heat map of world population also contains this occurrence. Areas in rural parts of the United States and South America may closely resemble familiar geographic borders in those regions.
