…both
approaches “carve” a field into smaller pieces to better represent the
unique
|
|
conditions
and patterns occurring in the field.
Zones pre-partitions it into relatively
|
|
large,
irregular areas that are assumed to be homogenous—discrete polygons.
|
|
|
Surfaces, on
the other hand, process field samples for an estimate of each factor at
|
|
grid cells throughout
a uniform analysis grid—continuous
gradient.
