Where do I find the raster in QGIS?
This adds the raster into the QGIS interface. In the legend, the raster is labeled ‘layer name’. You’ll need to know the coordinates of a point that falls somewhere with the area your raster layer covers. The coordinates will need to be in the same units as the projection used to display your layer.
How to remove points and polygons from QGIS?
Hold the Shift key and select max_temparature_at_urban_locations and 2013_Gaz_ua_national layers. Right-click and select Remove to remove them from QGIS TOC. Go to Layer ‣ Add Vector Layer. Browse to the downloaded tl_2013_us_county.zip file and click Open.

How to plot a point on the highest elevation of a raster?
(3) Start Extract by expression tool (in Processing Toolbox | QGIS geoalgorithms | Vector selection tools if it is QGIS 2.18). Expression would be “elevation” = maximum (“elevation”, group_by:= “fid”). This will return a new point shapefile layer Extracted (expression) which is the highest point within each polygon.
Is there a way to perform spatial queries in QGIS?
QGIS doesn’t have a way to do this. Another way would be to write a script that takes each points, re-projects it to a Azimuthal Equidistant projection centered around that point, does the buffer, re-projects it back to the source projection nad writes to an output layer.
How does the geoprocessing tool in QGIS work?
You will see both the shapefiles now loaded in QGIS. We will be created buffers around the point and line layers. The Buffer geoprocessing tool in QGIS uses layer units to calculate buffer distances. The layers we have are in Geographic Coordinate Reference System (CRS) with the unit of degrees.
How do I add a vector layer to QGIS?
Once you have downloaded the data, open QGIS. Go to Layer ‣ Add Vector Layer. Click Browse and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the zip files. Hold the Shift key and click on both the zip files to select them. Click Open.
