Answer-Color ramp
- correct Answer-Color schemes
-Binary
-Qualitative
-Sequential
-Diverging
- correct Answer-Complete Spatial randomness
- correct Answer-Continuous Object View
to create the points, lines, and polygons of vector data - correct Answer-Digitization
The conceptualization of the world in which all reality can be represented by a series of
separate objects - correct Answer-Discrete Object View
- correct Answer-Discrete vs. Continuous Data
, Distance decay is a geographical term which describes the effect of distance on cultural
or spatial interactions. - correct Answer-Distance Decay
Used to represent spatial distributions
-good for complex maps which show spatial correlations of different phenomena -
correct Answer-Dot Density Map
Dots per inch- a measure of how coarse (lower values) or sharp (higher values) an
image or map resolution will be when exported to a graphical format. - correct Answer-
DPI
Making assumptions about individuals about individuals in an area based on information
at the aggregated level - correct Answer-Ecological Fallacy
- correct Answer-Feature Attributes
o First order process-pattern of points is independent; that is, the characteristics and
locations of other points are irrelevant
o Second-order process-the pattern is dependent on the other points; that is, a cluster is
explained by an attraction between the points; dispersion explained by a revulsion
• Which of the two is more realistic?
• Second order - correct Answer-First and Second Order Processes

flow within a network?? - correct Answer-Flow Map
the term that describes when an action is taken to a dataset that results in a new
dataset being created - correct Answer-Geoprocessing
a process whereby spatial referencing is given to data without it - correct Answer-
Georeferencing
