A chart is a graphical representation of statistical information, often in the form of a graph or diagram. Charts are used to visually represent numerical or categorical data, making it easier to understand patterns, trends, and relationships within the data. For instance, line graphs are often used to show trends over time, such as the rate of deforestation.

Other common types of charts include bar graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, or histograms. Each type of these charts is suited to represent different types of data and relationships.
