A. A discrete virtual space within AGOL cloud that enables an organization to manage content and fost
er collaboration
Layers - CORRECT ANSWER --One of the primary ways that you work with geographic data in AGOL

-
Each layer references a data set and specifies how that dataset is portrayed using symbols and text lab
els
maps - CORRECT ANSWER --2D made up of web layers
-Can be shared, edited and displayed online

-Used as operational layers
-Display pop-up windows with tabular information for each feature or location
tile layer - CORRECT ANSWER --Collection of prerendered images or quick-to-
render vectors that can be rapidly displayed
-
When displaying prerendered imagery, tile layers may display elevation, aerial photography or historic
maps
-Often used for basemap layers
-When used for basemap layers, they will often omit any pop-up interactivity
In the following map, the total population layer is the operational layer
A. True
B.False - CORRECT ANSWER -A. true
Where in the item page for a layer would you find the source of the layers data
