QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 2026-2027
Domains: - CORRECT ANSWER -Constrain valid values for a field
Subtypes: - CORRECT ANSWER -Subset of features that share same attributes
Topology: - CORRECT ANSWER -Define spatial relationships that should be protected in data
Archiving data: - CORRECT ANSWER -Archiving versioned data that allows access changes

.SHX - CORRECT ANSWER -Stores index of feature geometry
.DBF - CORRECT ANSWER -Stores attribute information of features
.PRJ - CORRECT ANSWER -Stores coordinate system information
Small-scale maps... - CORRECT ANSWER -Show a large geographic area with few details
Large-scale maps... - CORRECT ANSWER -Show a small geographic area with more detail
Cylinder projection: - CORRECT ANSWER -Meridians and parallels intersect at right angles
Cone projection: - CORRECT ANSWER -Contacts the globe along a single latitude (standard parallel)
Plane projection: - CORRECT ANSWER -
Longitude lines radiate outward from the pole and latitude lines appear as concentric circles
, Conformal projection: - CORRECT ANSWER -Preserves shape, but not area
Equal area projection: - CORRECT ANSWER -Preserves area, but not shape
Equidistant projection: - CORRECT ANSWER -Preserves distance from one point to every other point
Azimuthal projections: - CORRECT ANSWER -Preserves direction from one point to all points
Gnomic projection: - CORRECT ANSWER -Preserves distance and direction, but not area
Compromise projection: - CORRECT ANSWER -Aims to balance shape and area distortion
Mosaic datasets contain three layers: - CORRECT ANSWER -Boundary, footprint, and image
Pyramids in raster data: - CORRECT ANSWER -
Enhances performance by making copies of the original data at decreasing resolution
Overviews in raster data: - CORRECT ANSWER -
Creates a reduced resolution raster dataset to increase display speed and reduce CPU usage
Closest to center (mosaicking method) - CORRECT ANSWER -
Sorts rasters with their centers closest to view placed at the top
Closest to Nadir (mosaicking method) - CORRECT ANSWER -
Displays the image with the smallest distance between the nadir position and center of image
Closest to viewpoint (mosaicking method) - CORRECT ANSWER -
Use when there are many overlapping images
Northwest (mosaicking method) - CORRECT ANSWER -
Displays the image that has its center in the northwest corner
