4. Does the data set describe conditions during a particular time period?
   
   
   Calendar date: unknown
   Currentness reference:

   publication date

   
   
5. What is the general form of this data set?
   
   
   Geospatial data presentation form: vector digital data
   
   
6. How does the data set represent geographic features?
   
   
   1. How are geographic features stored in the data set?
      
      
      This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):

      • G-polygon (1204)
      
      
   2. What coordinate system is used to represent geographic features?
      
      
      Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000000. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000000. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.

      
      

      The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.

      The ellipsoid used is WGS_1984.

      The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.

      The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.

      
      Vertical coordinate system definition:

      Altitude system definition:

      Altitude resolution: 1.000000

      Altitude encoding method: Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinates
