Question 1

The first &#34;StateView&#34; program was&#10;A)OhioVie&#10;B)VirginiaVie&#10;C)MassachusettsVie&#10;D)WisconsinVie

Accepted Answer

The first "StateView" program was OhioView, which was developed in Ohio in 1987.

Question 2

The national organization of the various &#34;StateView&#34; programs is&#10;A)WorldView.&#10;B)NationalView.&#10;C)USView.&#10;D)AmericaView.

Accepted Answer

The term "StateView" suggests a focus on individual states within the United States. Therefore, it is likely that the national organization of these programs would be named something that reflects a similar focus on the country as a whole, such as "AmericaView." Choices A and B suggest a more global perspective, while choice C is too vague and does not specifically reference the United States.

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT an example of a basemap?&#10;A)Digital versions of topographic maps&#10;B)TIGER/line files&#10;C)High-resolution aerial imagery&#10;D)A digital graphic of streets

Accepted Answer

TIGER/line files are actually vector data that can be used to create a basemap, rather than a basemap itself. A basemap refers to the underlying map layer or dataset that provides context and reference for other data layers. Examples of basemaps include digital versions of topographic maps, high-resolution aerial imagery, and digital graphics of streets.

Question 4

The cloud model of resources reflects&#10;A)obtaining data as needed from servers at another location via the Internet.&#10;B)keeping a printed hard-copy of the data on hand to duplicate the data available on your own computer.&#10;C)using a mobile device (such as a phone or tablet)to synch multiple copies of your data with your own personal computer.&#10;D)using the resources of several volunteers together to complete a project.

Accepted Answer

The cloud model of resources involves accessing data and resources from servers located at another location via the Internet. It is a central feature of cloud computing.

Question 5

Earth Observation Day showcases&#10;A)remote sensing.&#10;B)Geographic Information System.&#10;C)Global Positioning System.&#10;D)online mapping.

Accepted Answer

Earth Observation Day is primarily about showcasing remote sensing, which is the process of obtaining information about the Earth's surface without actually being in contact with it. This can be done using satellites, aircraft, or other forms of technology that capture data from a distance.

B, C, and D are all related to Earth observation and mapping, but they are not the key focus of Earth Observation Day. Geographic Information System (GIS) is a software system that allows users to store, analyze, and manage spatial data. Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of satellites that provide location and time information to GPS receivers on Earth. Online mapping refers to the use of web-based tools to create and view maps over the internet. While these are all important tools for analyzing and visualizing Earth data, they do not represent the primary focus of Earth Observation Day.

Question 6

A national organization dedicated to geographic education is&#10;A)OGC.&#10;B)ASPRS.&#10;C)AAG.&#10;D)NCGE.

Accepted Answer

NCGE stands for National Council for Geographic Education, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting geographic literacy in schools across the United States. They provide professional development opportunities, educational resources, and advocacy for geography education. OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) and ASPRS (American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) are organizations focused on geospatial technology and research, while AAG (American Association of Geographers) is a professional organization for geographers, but not specifically focused on geographic education.

Question 7

Combining several geospatial data layers together will create a&#10;A)wiki.&#10;B)API.&#10;C)mashup.&#10;D)SaaS.

Accepted Answer

Mashup is the correct choice as it refers to the integration of different data sources to create a new and more useful application. Combining geospatial data layers is a common use case for creating mashups, which can provide new insights and value by combining disparate pieces of information. A wiki is a collaborative document editing platform, an API is an interface for accessing a specific software or service, and SaaS is a model of software delivery. None of these options accurately describe the result of combining geospatial data layers.

Question 8

A &#34;neutral&#34; file format used for geospatial data was&#10;A)SDTS.&#10;B)Geo.Data.Gov.&#10;C)Personal Geodatabase Standards.&#10;D)BALANCE.

Accepted Answer

SDTS (Spatial Data Transfer Standard) is a "neutral" file format used for geospatial data. It was developed by the U.S. Federal Government to facilitate the exchange of digital spatial data between different systems and organizations. The other options listed are not file formats for geospatial data.

Question 9

An interactive online representation of geospatial data accessed through a Web browser is a&#10;A)Web master.&#10;B)Web mashup.&#10;C)Web map.&#10;D)Web standard.

Accepted Answer

A Web map is an interactive online representation of geospatial data that can be accessed through a Web browser. It allows users to zoom in and out, pan, and select different layers of information to view. A Web map can be created using a variety of technologies and software, and can be used for a range of applications, such as navigation, urban planning, and environmental monitoring.

Question 10

GIS Day is observed in conjunction with&#10;A)Presidents' Day.&#10;B)Geography Awareness Week.&#10;C)Geographic Alliance Month.&#10;D)The International Polar Year.

Accepted Answer

GIS Day is observed in conjunction with Geography Awareness Week, which takes place in the third week of November every year. The purpose of GIS Day is to promote GIS technology and its applications, and to increase public awareness about geography and the importance of spatial thinking in everyday life.
