Question 1

GIS uses the information from which of the following sources?&#10;A)non- spatial information system&#10;B)spatial information system&#10;C)global information system&#10;D)position information system

Accepted Answer

GIS stands for Geographic Information System, which primarily uses spatial information to analyze and visualize data related to positions on Earth's surface.

Question 2

&#160;Among the following ____________ can be expressed as an example of hardware component.&#10;A)keyboard&#10;B)arc gis&#10;C)auto cad&#10;D)digitalization

Accepted Answer

A keyboard is a physical device, making it a hardware component. ArcGIS and AutoCAD are software applications, and digitalization refers to the process of converting information into a digital format, not a hardware component.

Question 3

Which among the following is not related to GIS software's?&#10;A)cad&#10;B)arc gis&#10;C)arc view&#10;D)staad pro

Accepted Answer

STAAD Pro is not related to GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software. It is instead structural analysis and design software used by civil engineers. CAD (Computer-Aided Design), ArcGIS, and ArcView are all related to GIS, used for creating, managing, analyzing, and mapping all types of data.

Question 4

&#160;Which type of data set is not used in GIS related software's?&#10;A)vertex&#10;B)point&#10;C)poly line&#10;D)polygon

Accepted Answer

Vertex data by itself is not typically considered a standalone data set in GIS; it is rather a component of other data types such as points, polylines, and polygons. These other types (B, C, D) are standard data sets used in GIS to represent geographic features.

Question 5

The entire earth surface is divided into zones in which type of map projection?&#10;A)poly conic projection system&#10;B)cylindrical projection&#10;C)utm projection&#10;D)lambert- azimuthal equal area projection

Accepted Answer

The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection divides the Earth's surface into zones for mapping purposes, facilitating accurate location referencing across the globe.

Question 6

In which of the following ways, meridians are projected in cylindrical projection?&#10;A)mathematically&#10;B)geometrically&#10;C)horizontally&#10;D)vertically

Accepted Answer

The answer of In which of the following ways, meridians...

Question 7

Which of the following doesn't indicate a topology error?&#10;A)polygonal features&#10;B)gaps between polygons&#10;C)silver polygons&#10;D)unclosed polygons

Accepted Answer

Silver polygons are not a topology error.

Question 8

In a map showing contours, the name of the darker contour lines is&#10;A)index contours&#10;B)key contours&#10;C)lines of deviation&#10;D)lines of elevations

Accepted Answer

Index contours are the darker, often bolder lines on a topographic map that are used to indicate elevation. They are typically labeled with their elevation value and make it easier to read the overall terrain by standing out from the regular contour lines.

Question 9

If you are making a web map of sampling locations, streams and watershed areas, in what order would you place the layers on the map?&#10;A)sampling locations, wetland areas, streams&#10;B)streams, wetland areas, sampling locations&#10;C)sampling locations, streams, wetland areas&#10;D)it doesn't matter what order they are in

Accepted Answer

The correct order is sampling locations, streams, wetland areas. This is because the sampling locations are the most important layer, as they represent the data that is being collected. The streams are the next most important layer, as they represent the environment in which the data is being collected. The wetland areas are the least important layer, as they are not directly related to the data being collected.
