GIS FINAL EXAM 2023 LATEST UPDATE WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTION
topology - answer_______________ is the mathematical study of the properties of objects
that are
not distorted under continuous deformations. It is also used to to detect errors in
spatial data.
When correct, this allows data layers to be combined and spatially analyzed.
spatial data - answer__________ _______ is data that has some form of geographic
reference that
enables them to be located in two or three dimensianal space.
order, patterns - answerSpatial data is used to find ________ and ___________ in
spatial
phenomena
spatial pattern - answerA ___________ ___________ refers to various levels or spatial
regularity,
which includes local clusters of points, global structure of a surface and so on.
adjacency, enclosure, connectivity - answer3 basic elements of topology that are
relevant to the use of GIS and are central to the vector data structure
adjacency - answer___________ is information about the neighborhoods of different
objects.
(element of topology)
enclosure - answer___________ is information about spatial features that surround
other spatial
features (element of topology)
connectivity - answer___________ is information about the links between spatial
objects.
,points - answer___________ are the most fundamental spatial objects in GIS
, false - answerpoints are used to represent 1 dimensional space. True or False?
buffering - answer___________ involves the creation of a special-purpose polygon
that is a
specified distance around a point, line, or area feature.
within, beyond - answerBuffering creates two geographic areas: the geographic
area that lies
___________ the specified buffer distance, and the geographic area ___________ the
buffer limit
query - answera ___________ is used to pull information out of GIS by posing
questions to GIS
which replies as spatial and attribute information.
geoprocessing - answer___________ is a GIS operation that creates new data in both
simple (copy
and paste) and advanced forms (multiple operation on multiple data sets to create
new features)
advanced - answer___________ geoprocessing uses multiple operations on multiple
data sets to
create new features.
arbitrary, causative, mandated - answer3 types of buffering
arbitrary buffering - answer___________ ___________ is a GIS analyst's best estimate of
what size a
buffer should be, not based on scientific principles, political mandates or laws. e.g.
where to place a fence around a construction area
causative buffering - answer___________ ___________ applies knowledge of prior
conditions of
individual phenomena such as the landscape of the area of interest, and the
analyst makes the most logical decision about a buffer distance to use. e.g.
protection of a wetland from contamination by a surrounding area.
