  6. 12. The surface forms and features of the Earth.
  7. 15. This tool permanently combines two layers with the same geometry (ex: both points, lines, or polygons)
  8. 16. A large, highly detailed photograph (hint: one of these is hanging in the TED/WRS conference room!)

  12. 21. A way to temporarily or permanently combine the attributes of two layers, or a layer and a table.
  13. 22. A technological field that incorporates geographical features with tabular data in order to map, analyze, and asses real-world problems.
  14. 23. The North-South location of a feature, or the Y-axis.
  15. 26. A coding language used in GIS.
  16. 27. Used to represent streets, rivers, and sidewalks.
