ArcGIS Pro Associate Exam Questions and Answers 100% Pass Discrete data - Represents real-world features that have well defined boundaries. A discrete feature is distinct from the other features around it. Example: A river is a discrete feature: there is a distinct place where you stop being dry and begin getting wet. Continuous data - Represents real-world features that do not have well-defined boundaries. Examples: Elevation, temperature, rainfall. There are no distinct places where the phenomena simply stop; values may change abruptly, but the phenomena continue to be measured. Hint: if it makes sense to take an average of the values, it is likely continuous data Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) - Uses a spherical model to identify points or areas on the surface of the earth. Each coordinate system is commonly illustrated with a network of intersecting lines of latitude and longitude called a graticule 2Disclaimer: Original Content, No Copyright Infringement, All Rights Reserved © 2025 Graticule - a network of intersecting lines representing meridians (longitude) and parallels (latitude), on which a map or plan can be represented Four components of a coordinate system - Angular units of measure Prime meridian: Zero value for longitude Spheroid: Mathematical model that estimates the size and shape of the Earth Datum: A frame of reference for measuring locations on the surface of the Earth. It defines the origin and orientation of latitude and longitude lines. Why are there multiple spheroids in use for geographic coordinate systems? - The Earth's surface is not symmetrical, causing the semi major and semi minor axes that work for one geographic region to not work for another region Projected coordinate system - A system that defines locations on a flat map based on x,y coordinates Projection types - cylindrical, conic, azimuthal (planar) Cylindrical projection - a map created by projecting Earth's image onto a cylinder. Meridians and parallels intersect at right angles, as they do on the globe Conic projection - Created by setting a cone over a globe and projecting light from the center of the globe onto the cone. In general, distortion increases north and south of the standard parallel 3Disclaimer: Original Content, No Copyright Infringement, All Rights Reserved © 2025 Azimuthal/planar projection - When projected on either of the poles, longitude lines radiate outward from the pole at their true angle. Latitude lines appear as a series of concentric circles. Most often used to map the polar regions. Most suitable projection for map areas that extend north-south - Cylindrical projection Most suitable projection for map areas that extend east-west - Conic projection Most suitable projection for map areas that have equal exte
