Question 1: List the buttons in the Data Frame Properties Coordinate System window. Give a short description of the function of each button.Clear – removes coordinate system from layer that the data frame is currently using to display your data, sets the current coordinate system to be “no projection.”Transformations – reviews or defines transformations that are available by geographic coordinate systemused by this data frame and the geographic coordinate systems of data added to itModify – let’s you specify coordinate system for this data frame by importing a coordinate system for an existing data sourceImport – let’s you define a new coordinate system for this data frameNew – allows you to add a new geographic coordinate system or projected coordinate systemAdd to favorites – adds selected coordinate system in list on the left to Favorites folderQuestion 2: Has the shape and appearance of the United States changed? If so, how?Yes, the shape of the United States did change. It appears to be less warped and is also smaller than it was in the previous projection.Question 3: List the names and values of the parameters that appear in the Coordinate System tab in Data Frame Properties window for this coordinate system.USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_ConicProjection: AlbersFalse_Easting: 0.000000False_Northing: 0.000000Central_Meridian: -96.000000Standard_Parallel_1: 29.500000Standard_Parallel_2: 45.500000Latitude_Of_Origin: 37.500000Linear Unit: MeterQuestion 4: Given the appearance of the data now, do you feel that the Albers Equal Area Projection isappropriate for viewing the entire world? Attach and describe the current view.The Albers Equal Area Projection is not appropriate for viewing the entire world. The projection gives theappearance of looking at a globe in that you can only see certain sections at one time because the earth is round. Scale and shape seem hard to preserve but distortion between parallels is minimal.Question 5: Describe and attach the current ArcMap window.The current ArcMap window contains a display of three identical projections of a view of an Albers Equal Area Projection map. Question 6: Describe the difference between the four Data Frames: three projected and one unprojected.The Mercator projection seems to have size distorted the most while preserving direction and
