Question 15

Buttons may be dim

Answer 15

meaning unavailable.

The ribbon menu is context-sensitive: different ribbons may be visible depending on what is selected in a pane or view. Certain buttons may be accessible or unavailable (dim) based on what the user is doing.

Question 16

Vents layer / Feature layer

Answer 16

a new ribbon group appears, Feature Layer, with three additional ribbons:
Appearance,
Labeling,
and Data.
Click on each of the three Feature Lager sub-ribbons and examine the groups and
buttons.

Feature Lager ribbons are used to control the behavior of a layer: how it appears, whether
it has labels, and so on. These buttons only make sense when applied to a particular layer, which is why a layer must be selected to make them visible.

Question 24

Pop-ups

Answer 24

Click on one of the geologic units in the map (not in the lake). The polygon flashes
and a pop-up window appears with information about the polygon.

Click on one of the geologic units in the lake. The pop-up shows information about
the lake instead because it is the top layer.

The little black arrow below the Explore button shows which layer(s) will appear in the pop-up

If you click Selected in Contents
You click Crater Floor Geology
And click somewhere on the crater floor, it shows you a pop-up just from there. Doesn’t pop-up on the surround geologic units.
