Table containing all attributes of a data set

Refers to the data that describes features

Toolbar button that allows you to establish a connection to commonly used folders

To use the Address Locater in ArcGIS in combination with a list of addresses to automaticallyy place these data points based in a road database

Part of a feature class composed of point data, based on a single x, y location

Part of a feature class composed of polygondata, based upon three or more x, y locations which are connected to one another in a closed shape

Data being joined together based on geographic location, rather than a shared data column

Locations or positions of landmarks or other points of interests that can be taken with a gps unit

a visual representation of an area shown on a two dimensional surface.

Viewing something from above (bird’s eye view)

Shows how humans have divided the Earth

Shows land and water formations on earth’s surface.

Shows patterns of demographic data

detailed map showing specific places

The “science or art of making maps”

The people who physically make the maps.

acquired by using coordinate system to determine a referenced fixed point in space.

starting point for the lines of longitude and latitude. Divides the earth into northern and southern hemispheres.

Geographic coordinate system

Establishes two sets of imaginary lines around the earth: Parallels, representing latitude, and meridians, representing longitude, forming a grid over the earth.

International data line

imaginary date line that separates two calendar days located approximately 180°

Lines that run east and west along the earth’s surface.

Lines that run north and south along the earth’s surface.

Term used to describe lines of longitude.

Measured at the 0 degree longitude. Starting point of the meridians.

A way of describing where an object is on an earth’s surface without giving absolute coordnants.

Located a 23°30’ N Latitude Divides the tropics from the northern temperature zone.

Located at 23°30’ S Latitude divides the tropics from the southern temperature zone.

Are located west of the prime meridian to 180° longitude.
