correct.
GIS software is only one of the components of a GIS.
True
False - -True
-Which of the following features would be better
represented using the Vector Data Model?
a. Precipitation
b. Elevation
c. Roads
d. None of the above. - -c. Roads
Roads are spatially discrete features that are well represented by the vector data model
-Which of the following features are continuous?
a. Precipitation
b. Elevation
c. Land use
d. All of the above
e. a and b only - -e. a and b only
Both precipitation and elevation are continuous features that are usually represented by
using the Raster Data Model
-One can use both vector data and raster data in a GIS project.
True
False - -True
, -One would normally begin with __________ in a GIS project:
a. data display
b. database construction
c. data analysis
d. data exploration - -b. database construction
Though the 3 other steps cannot be easily sorted and often happen together, gathering
data and constructing a database is always the first step in a GIS project
-Which of the following applications in ArcGIS Desktop is designed for data
management?
a. ArcMap
b. ArcCatalog - -b. ArcCatalog
Dedicated to data management while ArcMap is dedicated to data display and analysis
-Which of the following activities cannot use a GIS?
a. Crime mapping
b. interactive mapping
c. transportation planning
d. none of the above - -d. none of the above
All these activities can use (and do use most of the time)
-Nowadays, most GIS software can display together layers with different coordinate
systems, but some geoprocesses still require that all layers align spatially.
