1. What is the difference between defining a projection and changing a projection? For a shapefile, where is this projection information stored?
2. A map of Virginia counties was developed in 1950. Each of us takes this map and places it in the same projection: Lambert conformal conic/State Plane 4502. Yet, certain features positions differ by 100 meters. Why?
3. What is the conforming property? Name something that has this property and something that does not.
