●● Ribbon
Answer: The ArcGIS Pro (blank) displays functionality through a series
of tabs, groups, and tools/buttons that you can use to perform various
tasks.
●● Tab
Answer: each (blank) has its own set of tools and buttons, which are
organized into groups.
●● Groups
Answer: Organize functionality of the tools and buttons on a ribbon tab
●● Tool/button
Answer: Execute actions in ArcGIS Pro
●● View
,Answer: are used for working with maps, scenes, and other data. A
project can contain several (blanks), but only one (blank) is active at a
time
●● Pane
Answer: is a dockable window in ArcGIS Pro. Shows the contents of the
active view or allows you to access all items associated with the project
in one place.
●● Which element of the ArcGIS Pro user interface displays the
contents of the active view?
Answer: Contents Pane
●● Which two statements best describe ArcGIS Pro capabilities?
Answer: Create 2D and 3D maps to visualize data
Use artificial intelligence to recognize complex patterns
●● Imagine that a spatial analyst has created a project in ArcGIS Pro.
Which two items can be stored in the project to use when needed?
Answer: Maps and Layouts
●● Which option would be the best choice to view all the features of a
specific layer on your map?
,Answer: in the contents pane, right-click the layer and choose Zoom to
layer
●● Which statement best describes how to share a web layer in ArcGIS
Pro?
Answer: right-click the layer in the contents pane
●● GIS Coordinates
Answer: x coordinate = horizontal distance from the point of origin
y coordinate = vertical distance from the point of origin
z coordinate = the height of a point from the ground
●● What shape is the earth?
Answer: Oblate Ellipsoid/Spheroid
●● Two most common spheroids used in North America
Answer: GRS80 and Clarke 1866
●● Coordinate Systems
Answer: Geographic coordinate systems: uses a three-dimensional
spheroidal model to identify points or areas on the surface of the earth.
, Projected coordinate systems: used to convert feature locations from the
spheroidal earth to a flat map. To do so, latitude and longitude
coordinates from geographic coordinate systems are projected to planar
coordinates.
●● Which statement best describes the shape of the earth?
Answer: The earth is an oblate ellipsoid, which closely approximates a
sphere.
●● At which scale do differences in spheroids generally become visible?
Answer: 1:5,000,000
●● Which two statements best describe why maps need coordinate
systems?
Answer: Coordinate systems help accurately match a location on the
earth with a location on a map.
Coordinate systems ensure that geographic information is placed
accurately on a map.
●● Which two statements best explain why multiple spheroids are used
to model the shape of the earth?
