The difference between Chart and Graph

When used as nouns, chart means a map illustrating the geography of a specific phenomenon, whereas graph means a data chart (graphical representation of data) intended to illustrate the relationship between a set (or sets) of numbers (quantities, measurements or indicative numbers) and a reference set, whose elements are indexed to those of the former set(s) and may or may not be numbers.

When used as verbs, chart means to draw a chart or map of, whereas graph means to draw a graph.
