In this section, we will use the GeoDataFrame point that we just created and the polygons of the NYC census tracts to demonstrate different spatial operations. Before we can do any meaningful location data analysis, we need to check the geographic CRS of our data. As we have already mentioned, we have WGS84, and the coordinates are defined as decimal degrees.
Spatial operations
Projections
It is a common process to reproject data from one format, such as WGS84, to other formats. There are many different projections; some distort shapes, others distort size, while other projections maintain an equal area size. Doing so is very useful for visualizing how different projections transform data, as is made clear at https://map-projections...
