A sliver polygon typically arises when

  • A.a raster layer is converted into vector form
  • B.a map is reprojected into a different system
  • C.two versions of the same boundary are overlaid
  • D.a polygon has been drawn with far too few vertices

Answer: C

Correct answer: two versions of the same boundary are overlaid

Where the same line has been digitised twice, or captured from two sources, the two versions differ by a small amount along their length. Overlaying them creates a chain of long thin polygons between the two. They are geometrically valid and analytically meaningless, and they are removed by a tolerance or by snapping the boundaries together first.
