In this lab, we found that 15.5% of Vancouver’s area is in danger should a tsunami occur that impacted areas of 15m elevation or less. We found this by finding the area of the Vancouvermask_Danger layer (20314735.555201 square kilometres) and dividing it by the area of the Vancouvermask layer (131033339.950334 square kilometres).
Using the Overlay tool, I created an intersect with the Vancouver_education layer and the Vancouvermask_Danger layer, and repeated the same with the Vancouver_health layer to find the facilities of these two types that would be in danger of a tsunami.
