Describe the two common types of data for terrain mapping and analysis.1 .Two important types of field data that can be
12、 used in a GIS project are survey data and global positioningsystme (GPS) data.2. Describe three variations in buffering.2.The buffer distance can vary by the values of a givenfield. Buffering can be right side of the lineBuffer zones may remain is separate from others, are no overlapped areason eit
13、her the left side or the feature, instead of both sides. intact so that each buffer zoneor dissolved so that there between buffer zones.3. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the raster data model vs. the vector data model.3.The main advantage of the raster data model is having fixed cell lo
14、cations, which make it easier for datamanipulation, aggregation, and analysis. The main disadvant age is its weakness in representing the precise location of spatial features.4. Explain the difference between location errors and topological errors.4.Location errors such as missing polygons or distor
15、ted lines relate to the geometric inaccuracies of spatial features, whereas topological errors such as dangling lins and unclosed polygons relate to the logical inconsistencis between spatial features.5. Explain the difference between the georelational data model and the object-based data model.5.Th
16、e objectbased data model differs from the georelational data model i n two aspects. First,the objectbased data model stores both the spatial and attribute data of spatialfeatures in a single system rather than a split system. Second, the objectbased data model allows a spatial feature (object) to be
17、 as sociated with a set of properties and methods.6. Explain the importance of map projection.6.A map projection offers a couple of advantages. First, a map projection allows us to use two-dimensional maps, either paper or digital, insteadof a globe.Second, a mapprojection allows us to work with pla
18、ne or projected coordinates rather thanlongitudeand latitudevalues.Computations with geographic coordinates are more complex and yield less accurate distance measurements.7. How can an analysis mask save time and effort for raster data operations?7.Because an analysismask limitsdata analysis to cell

20、ometric properties.9.A point has 0 dimension and has only the property of location.A line is onedimensionaland has the property of length.And an area istwo-dimensional and has the properties of area (size) and perimeter.10. Name two examples each for integer rasters and floating-point rasters.11. Ex
21、amples of integer rasters are land use and soil types. Examples of floatingpoint rasters are precipitation and elevation.12. The georelational data model uses a split system to store vector data. What does a split system mean?13. A split system stores spatial data in graphic filesand attribute data
22、in a relational database. Typically, a georelational data model uses the feature label or ID to link the two components.14. The output from a viewshed analysis is a binary map. What does a binary map mean in this case?12.The output from a viewshed analysis is a binary map, which showing visible and
23、not visible areas from the viewpoint.15. What are the basic elements of the raster data model?13.The basic elementsof the raster datamodel arecellvalue, cell size, raster bands, and spatial reference16. What are the common elements on a map for presentation?14.The common elements on a map for presen
24、tation include the title, body, legend, north arrow, scale, acknowledgment, and neatline/map border.17. What is a feature attribute table?15.A feature attribute table is a table associated with a vector data set, which has access to the data set s spatial data.18. Why is the datum important in GIS?19. A datum is important in GIS because it serves as the reference or base for calculating the geographic coordinates of a location.
