What method of raster encoding should be employed if you label each grid cell based on whatever was located in the middle of that cell?    

A GIS Analyst is creating a 3D scene that used the same data as the 2D map.  The scene will include U.S. Census block and tract data.  The height of the block features will represent the number of UW college graduates across Dane County, Wisconsin.  What type of 2.5 or 3D symbolization should be used to illustrate the students?

You are piecing together an ArcGIS Model Builder flowchart.  Your objective is to determine if there has been habitat preference change between 2000 and 2010 for the Blurry Speckled Whooper Owl (Lethargicist honkerris) in Somnolent State Park (near Sleepy Hollow).  You have the habitat landcover GIS layer (Somnolent State Park) that has numerical weightings for 2000 and 2010 that represent habitat preference values for the Whooper Owl.  You need to convert the shapefile into two separate GRID files (with the 2000 and 2010 preference values).  These GRID files then need to be subtracted from one another to determine any habitat preference change and then converted to absolute values.  Below are several pieces of the model– but three segment sections are missing the appropriate tool command.  Use three of the numbered (loose) pieces below to finish the model.

What type of three-dimensional terrain map depicts elevations with a spectral shift of natural color (e.g. green to brown)?

In Lab 1, you needed to convert your vector-based file (habitatcov) into four different raster files.  The process also involves using a spreadsheet to recode habitat values. What GIS technique was used to perform this operation?

What type of GIS technique would you choose if you posed the question “What is adjacent to it?” [Hint: Questions concerning adjacency are interested in features that are immediately next to each other or share a boundary.]

An urban planner and their client are reviewing the output of a visibility analysis that is for a proposed state park observation deck.  The client asks the planner about the resultant raster that shows varying grid values across the study area.  What do these values likely represent?

If you wanted to obtain information about sailing charts or oceanographic maps, which of the following federal agencies would you contact?

The ___?___ method of GIS modeling is often called the ‘trial and error approach”- it tends to use all available GIS layers (testing each one).

What is the primary goal of a DMZ?
