Question 1

Describe the basics of how a GeoWall system enables the user to see images in stereoscopic 3D.

Accepted Answer

In short,a GeoWall system has two projectors that can display the same image,just somewhat offset.The two images are passed through filters that polarize the light,which then strikes a special screen that preserves the polarized light.This then gets reflected to a viewer wearing special polarized glasses that allow one to see the items on the screen in a &#34;3D&#34; appearance.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

The National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) is a national organization devoted to promoting geographic education in the United States.

Question 3

Earth Observation Day showcases&#10;A)remote sensing.&#10;B)global positioning systems.&#10;C)global positioning system.&#10;D)online mapping.

Accepted Answer

Earth Observation Day focuses on showcasing remote sensing technologies that allow the collection of data about the Earth's systems from a distance using instruments such as satellites, aircraft, and ground-based sensors.

Question 4

The first &#34;StateView&#34; program was&#10;A)OhioView.&#10;B)VirginiaView.&#10;C)New YorkView.&#10;D)WisconsinView.

Accepted Answer

OhioView was the first "StateView" program, established to promote the use of remote sensing data in Ohio.

Question 5

A &#34;neutral&#34; file format used for geospatial data was&#10;A)the Spatial Data Transfer Standard.&#10;B)Geospatial One Stop.&#10;C)Geodatabase.&#10;D)Map Service.

Accepted Answer

The Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) is a neutral file format used for geospatial data that can be used by both public and private sectors. It provides a common language for geographic data exchange and facilitates interoperability between various systems and software applications. Geospatial One Stop, Geodatabase, and Map Service are not file formats but rather platforms or tools used for managing, analyzing, and sharing geospatial data.

Question 6

Viewing an image that is offset in both the color red and the color blue that enables a &#34;3D&#34; style effect is an example of&#10;A)Anaglyph.&#10;B)GeoWall.&#10;C)Stereovision.&#10;D)SOS.

Accepted Answer

Anaglyph technology uses offset images in different colors (generally red and blue) to create a 3D effect when viewed through special glasses with corresponding colored lenses.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Combining several geospatial data layers together creates a mashup, which is a web application that integrates data from multiple sources into a single map interface. A wiki is a collaborative website that allows users to add and edit content, and an API is a set of protocols and standards for accessing a web-based software application or web tool. A map service is a software application that provides access to geographic information and allows users to view and interact with maps online. None of these choices accurately describe the result of combining geospatial data layers.

Question 8

The concept of individuals contributing spatial data and knowledge to a database best describes&#10;A)volunteered geographic information.&#10;B)wiki spatial data.&#10;C)StateView-sponsored information.&#10;D)open geospatial consortiums.

Accepted Answer

The concept of individuals contributing spatial data and knowledge to a database is known as volunteered geographic information (VGI). VGI is a type of crowdsourcing that involves members of the public contributing geographic information voluntarily, such as through social media, citizen science projects, or mobile apps.

Question 9

Streaming a basemap (such as a topographic map or high-resolution imagery)from a server on the Internet to your own computer to use in geospatial analysis is an example of&#10;A)live user sites.&#10;B)geospatial one stop.&#10;C)SDTS.&#10;D)cloud computing.

Accepted Answer

Streaming a basemap from a server on the Internet to your own computer to use in geospatial analysis is an example of cloud computing, where the data is stored and processed in the cloud rather than on the user's local device.

Question 10

GLOBE is a(n)&#10;A)professional organization dedicated to satellite imaging.&#10;B)free geospatial software program that allows real-time environmental tracking.&#10;C)AmericaView program dedicated to studying global climate change.&#10;D)NASA program with worldwide student participants that studies the Earth's environment.

Accepted Answer

GLOBE is a NASA program that engages students in science and education to study the Earth's environment. It is a worldwide program that focuses on data collection and analysis related to Earth science.

Question 11

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

The answer of GIS Day is observed in conjunction with&#10;A)Presidents'...

Question 12

Numerous types of geospatial datasets can be downloaded via the resources at&#10;A)the National Map.&#10;B)SATELLITES.&#10;C)SDTS.&#10;D)Geospatial Unlimited Servers.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Numerous types of geospatial datasets can be...
