Question

1. What information is provided in this GIS display?

2. According to the scale, what do the areas colored red represent?
3. According to the scale, what does each dot represent?
4. Zoom in and out on the map using your mouse wheel or the +/- buttons on the screen. How does the information in the legend change?
5. Zoom in on Manhattan Island. How does the information on the map change as you zoom in?
6. What areas in and around Manhattan appear to have a larger density of senior residents? What areas appear to have a smaller density? Describe at least one example of each.

Answer 1

The GIS is a very important mapmaking tool for geographers.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geographical information system is a system to capture, store data that is used for further processing and it displays different types of map layer, raster, and vector data forms, and various data sets, frames, and metadata, etc.

Colors represent symbolism and areas in red color represent vegetation as seen in false color.

Dot density is represented by the map scale and it shows the number of dots for distribution of population in the area.

Zooming in and out of the map layer changes area showing on the map as it becomes a large scale for a small scale and visa versa hence it affects the information shown on the map.

Zooming in on the manhattan Islands we can see cities and major roads more clearly and it gives us more details.

There are areas in and around manhattan that have a lower density of the population of which belong to the senior residents and are at the Washington heights, and hamilton heights.
