Sets of numbers that unambiguously define locations (x and y values or latitude and longitude).
What are Coordinates?
100
The application of operations to coordinate (locations), related attribute data and relationships of features, often to solve a problem, address a question or gain knowledge.
What is Spatial Data Analysis?
100
The methodological execution of a sequence of operations on geographic data to create new information or to enhance the spatial structure or to discover and work with the relationships between existing information.
What is Geoprocessing?
100
A parameter that identifies those locations within the analysis extent that will be included when performing an operation or function.
What is Mask?
100
The art and science of expressing graphically, usually through maps, the natural and social features of the earth.
What is Cartography?
200
The reference of a measurement system (usually a system of coordinate positions on a surface)
What is Datum?
200
A classification method based on natural occurring clusters of data.
What is Natural breaks?
200
A type of folders/container for toolsets and tools in ArcGIS.
What is Toolbox?
200
The distance projected into a plane based on straight-line distance (dis-considers elevation).
What is Euclidean Distance?
200
Special-purpose map, single topic or statistical map.
What is Thematic Map?
300
The transformation of coordinate locations from the Earth’s curved surface onto flat maps.
What is Map Projections?
300
A spatial data operation resulting in an output containing each input data layer (both coordinate and attributes combined across the layers).
What is Overlay?
300
A type of analysis to test the impact (dependent variable) changing different parameters or criteria (independent variables)?
What is Sensitivity Analysis?
300
A analysis tool to determine the raster surface locations visible to a set of observer features.
What is Viewshed?
300
Re-scaling values into a range, percentage or rates.
What is Normalization (or standardization)?
400
A map that preserves the shape (at some portions of the map).
What is Conformal Map?
400
An overlay that combines data from both layers but only for the region where both layers contain data.
What is Intersection?
400
How we translate the conceptual model in one process or a sequence of processes connected together.
What is Geoprocessing Model?
400
Identifies the downslope direction of the maximum rate of change in value from each cell to its neighbors.
What is Aspect?
400
A text placed on or near a map feature that describes or identifies it. It can be retrieved from a field value in the feature's attribute data.
What is Label?
500
A reference system used to represent the locations of geographic features, imagery, and observations with a common geographic framework.
What is Coordinate System?
500
Small, narrow, polygon feature that appears along the borders of polygons following the overlay of two or more geographic datasets.
What is Slivers Polygon?
500
An application we use to create, edit, and manage models using a visual programming language in ArcGIS.
What is ModelBuilder?
500
A cell-by-cell combination of raster data layers stacked on top of each other using simple or complex equations.
What is Map Algebra?
500
In ArcGIS, text or graphics that can be individually selected, positioned, and modified. It may be manually entered or generated from labels. It can be stored as features in a geodatabase or as map annotation in a data frame.
