Question

The vector model is extremely useful for describing:

• A. continuously varying features
• B. soil features
• C. precipitation and temperature features
• D. discrete features

Hint:

Use vector model for discrete, well-defined boundaries like roads or buildings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In GIS, the vector data model is ideal for representing discrete features, such as:
- Points (e.g., wells, schools)
- Lines (e.g., roads, rivers)
- Polygons (e.g., land parcels, lakes)
It contrasts with raster models, which better represent continuous surfaces.
