Geoprocessing within ArcGIS Pro refers to
suite of tools for performing spatial analysis and GIS data management.
Spatial Analysis Process: Proximity
View and analyze data based on the distance between features.
Spatial Analysis Process: Temporal
View and analyze data based on a date or time field to see patterns over time.
Spatial Analysis Process: 3D
View and analyze data in a 3D context.
False
Which spatial analysis process can you use to answer this question: "Which district does each fire station point fall within?"
Overlay
Describe the Apportion Polygon tool.
The tool summarizes attributes from an input polygon layer based on the spatial overlay of a target polygon layer and assigns the summarized attributes to the target polygons. The target polygons have summed numeric attributes derived from the input polygons that each target overlaps.
Describe the Count Overlapping Features tool.
Generates planarized overlapping features from the input features. The count of overlapping features is written to the output features.
Describe the Erase tool.
Creates a feature class by overlaying the input features with the erase features. Only those portions of the input features falling outside the erase features are copied to the output feature class.
Describe the Identify tool.
Computes a geometric intersection of the input features and identify features. The input features or portions thereof that overlap identity features will get the attributes of those identity features.
Describe the Intersect tool.
Computes a geometric intersection of the input features. Features or portions of features that overlap in all layers or feature classes will be written into the output feature class.
Describe the Remove Overlap (multiple) tool.
Removes overlap between polygons contained in multiple input layers.
Describe the Spatial Join tool.
Joins attributes from one feature to another based on the spatial relationship. The target features and joined attributes from the join features are written to the output feature class.
Describe the Symmetrical Difference tool.
Computes a geometric intersection of the input and update features, returning the input features and update features that do not overlap. Features or portions of features in the input and update features that do not overlap will be written to the output feature class.
Describe the Union tool.
Computes a geometric union of the input features. All features and their attributes will be written to the output feature class.
Describe the Update tool.
Overlays a polygon layer with another layer to summarize the number of points, length of the lines, or area of the polygons within each polygon, and calculate attribute field statistics about the features within the polygons.
Describe the Summarize Statistics tool.
Calculates summary statistics for fields in a table.
Describe the Tabulate Intersection tool.
Computes the intersection between two feature classes and cross tabulates the area, length, or count of the intersecting features.
