Question 1

Geodatabases are displayed in the Catalog using the color:

Accepted Answer

Geodatabases are displayed in the Catalog using the color gray.

Question 2

Which of the following geodatabase formats can store a maximum of 2 GB of data?

Accepted Answer

Personal geodatabases have a maximum storage capacity of 2 GB because they are stored in Microsoft Access databases, which have this limitation. File, DBMS, and Spatial geodatabases can handle much larger datasets.

Question 3

Which of the following ArcGIS functions will compute the total length of a series of digitized segments?

Accepted Answer

Calculate geometry in ArcGIS can be used to compute various geometric properties of features, including the total length of a series of digitized segments.

Question 4

The Russian equivalent of GPS is:

Accepted Answer

Glonass is the Russian equivalent of the Global Positioning System (GPS), providing real-time positioning and timing data for global navigation.

Question 5

Which of the following is not a GNSS?

Accepted Answer

GZSS is not a recognized Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The other options, Galileo (Europe), GPS (USA), and Glonass (Russia), are all operational GNSS systems.

Question 6

A file called watershed.e00 would be imported into ArcGIS and contain which of the following?

Accepted Answer

The file with an .e00 extension is an Arc/Info Export file format, which is used to transfer data among different versions of the Arc/Info software. It contains an Arc/Info coverage, which could include various types of geographic data, such as watershed data in this context.

Question 7

Who designed, operates, and maintains the U.S. GPS?

Accepted Answer

The U.S. Department of Defense designed, operates, and maintains the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) for both military and civilian use.

Question 8

A polygon shapefile of Youngstown wetlands would be stored as:

Accepted Answer

A shapefile is stored as multiple files, at minimum including a .shp file for shape data, a .shx index file, and a .dbf file for attribute data.

Question 9

Coverages are displayed in the Catalog using the color:

Accepted Answer

The answer of Coverages are displayed in the Catalog using...

Question 10

Using a digital, georeferenced, high-resolution aerial photo as a source for digitizing describes:

Accepted Answer

Heads-up digitizing involves tracing geographic features from digital images directly on a computer screen, which is the method described by using a digital, georeferenced, high-resolution aerial photo as a source.

Question 11

Stream digitizing describes:

Accepted Answer

Stream digitizing involves digitizing vertices at a pre-determined interval, allowing for the capture of line features efficiently without manually clicking for each vertex.

Question 12

The end result of the "Add X/Y Data" process in ArcGIS is:

Accepted Answer

The "Add X/Y Data" process in ArcGIS converts a table of X (longitude) and Y (latitude) coordinates into a point layer, where each point represents the location of the corresponding X/Y data on a map.

Question 13

When digitizing, two or more segments are connected by a:

Accepted Answer

A vertex is a point where two or more segments are connected in digitizing.

Question 14

In a geodatabase, a feature class contains:

Accepted Answer

Feature classes in a geodatabase are used to store spatial data, which can include point, line, or polygon data types.

Question 15

The Chinese equivalent of GPS is:

Accepted Answer

Compass, also known as BeiDou, is the Chinese equivalent of the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Question 16

The standard file format for GPS data is:

Accepted Answer

GPX, or GPS Exchange Format, is the standard file format for storing and sharing GPS data such as waypoints, routes, and tracks. It allows for easy exchange of GPS data between different software and devices.

Question 17

In a geodatabase, a feature dataset can contain:

Accepted Answer

Feature datasets are used in geodatabases to logically group feature classes that share a common coordinate system. They do not contain map services or file geodatabases, and all contained feature classes must have the same coordinate system.

Question 18

Point digitizing describes:

Accepted Answer

Point digitizing involves digitizing vertices by clicking on the map, where each click represents a point or vertex.

Question 19

A mobile device app used for field-based GIS is:

Accepted Answer

Collector for ArcGIS is a mobile device app used for field-based GIS.

Question 20

Shapefiles are displayed in the Catalog using the color:

Accepted Answer

The answer of Shapefiles are displayed in the Catalog using...
