The difference between vector and raster data is... Answers: aVector data is stored in header files;b Raster data are stored in cells using an x-, y-, z- coordinate system c Vector data is useful for displaying image files;d Raster data are mainly used for spatial analysis e Vector data is stored as coordinate points; Raster data are stored in cells using a grid-coordinate system. Raster data is stored as coordinate points; Vector data are stored in cells using a grid-coordinate system.
Selected Answer: Vector data is stored as coordinate points; Raster data are stored in cells using a grid-coordinate system.
