(Chapter 5 Test Bank Questions)

 

Multiple Choice:

1. The “information” being handled by GIS refers to
2. spatial information.
3. tabular information.
4. visual information.
5. non-spatial information.

 

2. The term “GIS” first started being used in
   1. the 1950s with Harvard’s GIS Labs (SYGIS).
   2. the 1960s with Canada’s CGIS.
   3. the 1970s with the CIA’s Automap GIS.
   4. the 1980s with the development of Esri’s ArcGIS.

 

3. When modeling the world in GIS, when all features are treated as objects with definite locations and boundaries, what is being described?
4. Continuous field view of the world
5. Discrete object view of the world
6. Ellipsoid component view of the world
7. Geographic view of the world

 

4. Polygons are
   1. 0-dimensional objects.
   2. 1-dimensional objects.
   3. 2-dimensional objects.
   4. 3-dimensional objects.

 

5. In the vector data model, all items are represented as
   1. equally spaced and sized grid cells.
   2. points, lines, and polygons.
   3. directional lines.
   4. digitizing sketches.

 

6. In “heads-up” digitizing
7. “meta” (or “control”) points must be set up at the edges of the map before beginning.
8. digitizing is performed on a computer screen using an image as a backdrop.
9. a mouse is moved across the mesh of a map taped to a digitizing table to capture points.
10. only lines and polygons can be created; points must therefore be created using tabular x/y data.

 

7. Topology (in GIS terms) describes
   1. the landforms on the Earth’s surface.
   2. how objects are connected to one another independently of their coordinates.
   3. how grid cells are set up adjacent to one another.
   4. how grid cells are contained within a larger raster data model.

 

8. The digitized features from USGS topographic maps are
   1. digital line graphs.
   2. national land cover data.
   3. connectivity graphs.
   4. digital vector objects.

 

9. In the raster data model
   1. areas are modeled using equally spaced and equally sized grid cells.
   2. polygon objects are used for modeling large geographic areas.
   3. continuous fields are modeled using points and lines.
   4. multiple types of grid resolutions can be used in the same data set.

 

10. Non-spatial data in a GIS are referred to as

    2. Ordinal
    3. Interval
    4. Ratio

 

15. The temperature (measured in degrees Celsius) would represent what type of data?
