10/10 great job!Name: Kerry SparrowEmail Address: [email protected]) Where will you find the data for the labs? (Tell me the full path)Double-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop, click on icon for the J: drive, then on the folder isis, then html, then courses, then 2008spring, then geog, then 370, then 006. There will be a folder labeled data containing data for the labs. 2) Print screen of AFS ACL. Crop and expand box so that instructor can read the text of the box! 3) What is the drive letter of your home directory (i.e., your ATN home directory, not your GEOG 370 class directory)? Where do you save your labs?The H: drive is my ATN home directory. Labs can be saved in the J: drive or the M: drive. I willsave my labs in either the location: J:\isis\html\courses\2008spring\geog\370\006\students\skerry\ or M:\students\skerry4) If you were working on a computer in an ATN lab and wanted to save your work to a location where only you and no one else could see it, where should you save it?The private folder H:\private is where I should save my work if I want to be the only one to have access to it.5) If you had a webpage at UNC, what would be the URL for your web page?The URL for my web page would be http://www.unc.edu/~skerry/6) Print screen of step 7 in the trip to San Diego exercise. (another copy turned in during lab)7) What is a layer? According to Module 1 of Learning ArcGIS Desktop, a layer is a collection of thematically similar geographic features (i.e. rivers, lakes, counties, cities) that share the same geographicextent, coordinate system, and attributes. A layer in GIS references geographic data stored in a data source and defines how to display the data. 8) What is a feature?A feature is a representation of a real-world object on a map, as explained by the ESRI Virtual Campus module. In a GIS, features can be represented as vector data of points, lines, or polygons. Features can also be represented in a raster data format as cells. Features must have geometry and locational information. 9) Describe the difference between large and small scale, including the level of detail and example ratios.A large-scale map shows a smaller area than a small-scale map, and this area is covered in more detail. An example of a large-scale map may be a map of a college campus with a scale of about 1:10,000. An example of a small-scale map would be a world map on a meter-sized poster which is about the ratio of 1:40,000,000. The small-scale map has less detail but covers a larger area than the large-scale map. 10) What are the two views in ArcMap and what can you do within each one?The two views in ArcMap are data view and layout view. Module 1 explains that with data view, you can explore, edit, query, analyze, and symbolize data. In data view, you can only view one data frame at a time. Whereas in layout view, you can view multiple data frames. You can create a map layout that can be published as you can arrange data frames and add other map elements, such as scale bars, titles, and
