How are *layers* important and used in ArcGIS Online? - Answers -Layers are one of
the primary ways that you work with geographic data in ArcGIS Online.
All web maps and scenes include layers.
Each layer references a dataset and specifies how that dataset is portrayed using
symbols and text labels.
Layers are the foundation for all web maps and scenes. When a layer is added to a map
or scene, it functions as either a basemap layer or an operational layer.
How are *Web Maps* important and used in ArcGIS Online? - Answers -Web maps are
2D maps made up of web layers that can be shared, edited, and displayed online.
They are a core piece of content in ArcGIS Online that can be used across the ArcGIS
platform.
How are *Web Scenes* important and used in ArcGIS Online? - Answers -Web scenes
are similar to web maps, except that they display 3D geographic data and phenomena.
Layers can be mapped with 3D symbology.
How are *Web Apps* important and used in ArcGIS Online? - Answers -Web apps allow
you to control how users interact with web maps and scenes.
They provide a more focused experience as well as the opportunity for more context
and utility.
Users can create their own web apps, even if they have no programming experience.
How are *Files* important and used in ArcGIS Online? - Answers -Common types of
files that are shared through ArcGIS Online include reports (PDFs), CSV files, and
shapefiles.
CSV files and shapefiles can be made into layers.
What are *Basemap Layers*? - Answers -Basemap layers are static tiled layers such as
imagery, territorial boundaries, or roads that provide geographic context.
