1. What is the difference between a coordinate reference system and a projection (transformation)? Why would you want to change your coordinate reference system during any analysis? Remember that a coordinate reference system is a special type (and thought of as a key component) of the broader concept of ‘spatial reference system’.
The difference between a coordinate reference system and a projection (transformation) are that a projection provides various mechanisms to project maps of the earth's spherical surface onto a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate plane whereas a coordinate reference system enables geographic datasets to use common locations for integration. A coordinate system is a reference system used to represent the locations

10. What do the values in the field A1_FMTXT appear to mean and what is their level of measurement? (see the pdf metadata file)
The values in the field A1_FMTXT provide a text summary of the type of land or environment and the material the cell is made up of. The scale of measurement is nominal.
11. Zoom in close on the shorelines to see how they are different. Compare the landscape makeup or conditions at four locations, two where land conditions in NLCD and SZLINETH are similar and two more where they differ. Use x,y coordinates to record the location and write a short description.
Where they differ:
Location 1: 124°3'22.398"W 46°57'36.813"N
SZLINETH states that this location is a flat sandy area whereas Washington_NLCD_erd_032200 recognizes it as a value of 51, representing shrubland or areas dominated by shrubs.
Location 2: 124°6'36.612"W 46°51'3.126"N
SZLINETH states that this location is a beach with relic ridges or a vegetated dune compared to Washington_NLCD_erd_032200, which recognizes it as a value of 42 which indicates evergreen forest and areas characterized by trees where 75% or more of the tree species maintain their leaves all
How does the vegetation vary between the part of the marsh east of I280 and that
Answer: - Coordinate system is actually a reference system which represents the geographic locations, images, GPS (Geographic Positioning System) locations present in a common geographical framework. Hence these coordinate systems allows the geographic datasets to use the common locations for the purpose of integration.
The attachment illustrates in red outline all the parcels in City ownership that compose the Professors Lake recreation area. The City acquired ownership in 1979
As the spread of this region contains coastal borders as well as a “natural region biogeography of gulf coast prairies and marshes”. Where the two defining attributes to the area plays a role in the salinity of the soil which require a plant to be highly salt tolerant. Because of the marshes and coastal waters containments of salt evapotranspiration of the water increases the salinity of the surrounded areas subsequently resulting in the visibility of the Live Oak in the area. Live Oak’s visibility in the area is marked by a stripping pattern indicated on the map can then be inferred that the species has a high salt tolerance because of its successional status persisted over time such as the century tree found at Texas A&M University which has held place for over a hundred
Use the following table to compare ways of evaluating geologic time. Your description, similarities, and differences must each be at least 50 words.
“Drainage patterns, the hilliness of the ground, the range of soils, the nature of the bedrock,
The area was undergoing the fall to winter transition meaning that the surface was covered in distinguishable organic matter such as leaves and pine needles. The soil profile is on a sloped area (around 30°) with the face directed uphill.
Containing approximately 86,000 square feet of land, more or less, and being the Southerly one-half of Lot numbered 18.
Contain a distinctive top soil that is humose or peaty and a substratum starting at 40cm in depth which has been altered little (Avery, 1980; Buol, 1997). The soils do not contain a disturbed surface layer, the B horizon is not podzolic, weathered or argillic (Avery, 1980; Buol, 1997) and the soil profile is shallow (Ashman & Puri, 2002).
Containing approximately 86,000 square feet of land, more or less, and being the Southerly one-half of Lot numbered 198.
Projection: Projection is the method of depicting the whole spherical world, or parts of it, on a flat map. This is difficult for cartographers because projection of the world onto maps distorts actual distances and land areas. Major distortions include: shape, distance, relative size, and direction.
Ivanhoe Park, Manheim, Troostwood, Blue Hills and Townfork Creek are unoccupied" (p. 01a). The area is obviously
An up-to-date survey of the entire property which shows the existing improvements and the location of all wetlands and poorly and very poorly drained soils (including wetland flag numbers), wetland buffer, and 12’ primary structure setback from the buffer edge. The survey should be prepared by a licensed surveyor. For properties where the wetland delineation is older than 3 years, the professional who did the original delineation should reconfirm the accuracy of the boundaries in writing as part of the application. The Conservation Commission reserves the right to request documentation/notes for any wetlands delineation.
S- together the angles make a coordinate that can pinpoint any geographic position on the surface of the Earth, or any other
Historically, women have not been treated equally, especially in the workplace. So how did they start the revolution in the workplace? Women first time enter the workplace was during the industrial revolution. It helped the factory to earn more profit. “It all started when Alexander Hamilton wrote his Report on Manufacturers in 1791...One of the biggest areas of opportunity, he wrote, was cheap labor in the form of women and children.”(BeBusinessed.com). Women and children were doing the same job as man but earning half the salary. Women entered the workplace because of their cheap labor. Which then threatened male laborers. During that time period, women were more competitive than men. Women continued to enter the workplace across America
