A There appears to be a strong positive SAC, with high concentrations of Aluminum (in red) and low concentrations (in blue) clustered together. B The Bismuth distribution map shows more scattered and less distinct clustering, indicating weaker SAC. The central and eastern regions show interspersed high and low values, suggesting a negative or weaker SAC. The image was created using the open-source Geographic Information System QGIS.
