As you can see, the result is a new layer or feature class that attributes which part of each
parcel is in the floodplain and which parts are not. Again, your original inputs are still
intact.
Intersect
The Intersect tool takes multiple input layers and returns a new layer that shows where
the inputs overlap. The resulting layer attribute table will contain the combined attributes
of all the inputs. This tool works with all feature types, points, lines, and polygons. If you
input multiple feature types, you get to choose what your resulting output type will be.
You might use the Intersect tool if you are working on an emergency evacuation plan for
your community. You need to determine which roads might be blocked due to flooding so
you need to know which segments are in the floodplain. You can use the Intersect tool to
overlay the street centerlines with the floodplains to locate where and how much of each
road is in the greatest danger of flooding as illustrated in the following figure:
