Esri EADP19-001 Exam - 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

Double stereographic is not suited for area calculations, just saying.

I recall a similar practice question where we had to consider area preservation, so I lean towards the Lambert azimuthal equal area for this one.

I feel a bit confused about the differences between the projections. I know we practiced with the Lambert conformal conic, but I'm not sure if it's suitable here.

I think the Albers equal area conic might be a good choice since it preserves area, which is crucial for determining available land for oil extraction.

This seems straightforward. The key is to use a projection that preserves area, so I'd go with the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection.

I'm a little confused by the question. Can the data layers be overlaid accurately using different projections? I'll need to do some research to make sure I choose the right one.

Okay, I think I've got this. Since the analysis requires measuring area, I'll want to use an equal-area projection like Lambert azimuthal or Albers equal-area conic.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I'll need to review the properties of the different map projections to figure out which one is most suitable.

This looks like a straightforward question about Lean Six Sigma. I'm pretty confident the answer is B - Shewhart Chart, as that's a key tool for monitoring and controlling processes.

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.

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.

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.
