Esri Exam EADP19-001 Topic 2 Question 50 Discussion

Actual exam question for Esri's EADP19-001 exam

Question #: 50
Topic #: 2

The ArcGlS user is given data for the Arctic and is asked to perform various types of analysis using the dat

a. The data extend from the North pole south to 70 degrees North Latitude Data layers may contain points, lines, or polygons, and Include ice surveys from NOAA depth contours continental margins, locations of Known and suspected oil reserves, endangered species habitat and territorial boundaries for nations having Arctic coastline.

Given known petroleum reserves in the Arctic, plus areas reserved for endangered species habitat the user must determine the area In square miles that is available for oil extraction development for the United States.

Which protection is best suited for this analysis?

ALambert azimuthal equal area

Bdouble stereographic

CAlbers equal area conic

DLambert conformal conic

Hmm, let me think... Albers equal area conic sounds like the way to go here. Gotta keep those oil rigs and endangered critters from colliding, you know? Though I'm pretty sure the oil companies would try to drill through a polar bear's den if they thought they could get away with it.

Wait, is this a trick question? I was gonna go with the double stereographic, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Decisions, decisions... At least I know the Arctic is a pretty cool place, even if the politics around it are a bit icy.

I was leaning towards Lambert conformal conic, but Albers equal area conic makes sense too.

C'mon, this is easy. Albers equal area conic all the way. Gotta love that area preservation for this kind of regional analysis. Though I bet the oil companies are gonna try to squeeze every last drop out of those reserves, endangered species be darned.

Oil companies will always try to maximize their extraction, regardless of the consequences.

Hmm, the Arctic data seems pretty complex. I think the Albers equal area conic projection would be best for this analysis, since it preserves area and is well-suited for large regions like the Arctic. Though I'm curious if the oil reserves and endangered species habitats are going to overlap - that could get tricky.
