Answer:

<u>Two types of gis data representation method are raster and vector</u>

Explanation:

  • In a GIS the data that is represented by the pints, line, and polygons is raster data and it's stored in the real world like phenomenon also known as the discrete data.
  • Raster data is made up of pixel values and attributes that are associated with its color values, data is represented by the grids of cells. Stores spatial data more  
  • Another type of data model being the vector model that focuses on lines,  polygons and area points are expressed by the single point reference. For example, cities on a map. A line like the rivers the roads the railroads, trails, and topographic and polygons include the lakes, park boundaries, buildings, etc.
  • Vector data is most compatible with the relational database environments. Vector file sizes are hence usually very smaller than raster data. Raster data is computationally less expensive as compared to vector graphics. Stores nonspatial data.

The atmosphere and Earth's interior are layered by density. Gravity pulls more strongly on denser materials so denser materials are at the center of things. Earth's core, at its center, is denser than its crust.
