ArcGIS quiz Question and answers
already passed 2025/2026
Map extent - correct answer ✔The limit of the geographic area shown on a map, usually defined by a
rectangle. In a dynamic map display, the map extent can be changed by zooming and panning.
North arrow - correct answer ✔A map symbol that shows the direction of north on the map, thereby
showing how the map is oriented
Scale bar - correct answer ✔A map element used to graphically represent the scale of map. A scale bar
is typically a line marked like a ruler in units proportional to the map's scale
Legend - correct answer ✔The description of features included in a map, usually displayed in the map
layout. Legends often use graphics of symbols or examples of features from the map with a written
description of what each symbol or graphic represents
Neatline - correct answer ✔The border delineating and defining the extent of geographic data on a
map. It demarcates map unites so that depending on the map projection, the neatline does not always
have 90-degree corners. In a properly made map, it is the most accurate element of the data; other map
features may be moved slightly or exaggerated for generalization of readability, but the neatline is never
adjusted.
Feature dataset - correct answer ✔A collection of feature classes stored together which share the same
spatial reference; that is, they share a coordinate system, and their features fall within a common
geographic area
Attribute domain - correct answer ✔In a geodatabase, a mechanism for enforcing data integrity. An
attribute domain defines what values are allowed in a field in a feature class or a nonspatial attribute
table. If the features or nonspatial objects have been grouped in subtypes, different attribute domains
can be assigned to each of the subtypes
