log-log
Both axes transformed
Log-log describes a graph or scale where both axes use logarithmic rather than linear spacing.
This compresses wide-ranging data and reveals power-law relationships as straight lines: The log-log plot showed a clear linear trend across six orders of magnitude.
Common in scientific and engineering contexts where values span multiple powers of ten.
