Which of the following is NOT a common GIS data output format?

  1. Shapefile

  2. GeoJSON

  3. KML

  4. JPEG


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

JPEG is a raster image format commonly used for photographs and other images, but it is not a GIS data output format.

What is the primary purpose of a map legend?

  1. To provide a visual representation of the data

  2. To explain the symbols and colors used on the map

  3. To provide a table of the data values

  4. To provide a scale for the map


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary purpose of a map legend is to explain the symbols and colors used on the map, making it easier for users to understand the data.

Which type of chart is commonly used to display the distribution of data over time?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Line chart

  4. Scatter plot


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Line charts are commonly used to display the distribution of data over time, as they allow users to see trends and patterns in the data.

What is the term for the process of converting 2D data into a 3D representation?

  1. Extrusion

  2. Interpolation

  3. Generalization

  4. Symbolization


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Extrusion is the process of converting 2D data into a 3D representation by adding height or elevation information.

Which of the following is NOT a common GIS visualization technique?

  1. Choropleth map

  2. Heat map

  3. 3D scatter plot

  4. Topographic map


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Topographic maps are not typically considered a GIS visualization technique, as they are primarily used to represent elevation and terrain data.

What is the term for the process of selecting and combining different data sources to create a new dataset?

  1. Interpolation

  2. Generalization

  3. Integration

  4. Symbolization


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Integration is the process of selecting and combining different data sources to create a new dataset.

Which of the following is NOT a common GIS data output device?

  1. Printer

  2. Plotter

  3. Monitor

  4. Scanner


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Scanners are not typically used as GIS data output devices, as they are primarily used for inputting data into a GIS.

What is the term for the process of simplifying and reducing the detail of geospatial data?

  1. Interpolation

  2. Generalization

  3. Integration

  4. Symbolization


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Generalization is the process of simplifying and reducing the detail of geospatial data to make it more suitable for a particular purpose.

Which of the following is NOT a common GIS data output format for 3D data?

  1. OBJ

  2. STL

  3. DAE

  4. KML


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

KML is not a common GIS data output format for 3D data, as it is primarily used for representing 2D geospatial data.

What is the term for the process of assigning symbols and colors to geospatial data to represent different features or attributes?

  1. Interpolation

  2. Generalization

  3. Integration

  4. Symbolization


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Symbolization is the process of assigning symbols and colors to geospatial data to represent different features or attributes.

Which of the following is NOT a common GIS data output format for raster data?

  1. TIFF

  2. JPEG

  3. PNG

  4. Shapefile


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Shapefile is not a common GIS data output format for raster data, as it is primarily used for representing vector data.

What is the term for the process of estimating values at unsampled locations based on known values at sampled locations?

  1. Interpolation

  2. Generalization

  3. Integration

  4. Symbolization


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Interpolation is the process of estimating values at unsampled locations based on known values at sampled locations.

Which of the following is NOT a common GIS data output format for vector data?

  1. Shapefile

  2. GeoJSON

  3. KML

  4. TIFF


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

TIFF is not a common GIS data output format for vector data, as it is primarily used for representing raster data.

What is the term for the process of converting raster data into a vector representation?

  1. Rasterization

  2. Vectorization

  3. Generalization

  4. Symbolization


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Vectorization is the process of converting raster data into a vector representation.

Which of the following is NOT a common GIS data output format for 3D point cloud data?

  1. LAS

  2. LAZ

  3. OBJ

  4. STL


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

OBJ is not a common GIS data output format for 3D point cloud data, as it is primarily used for representing 3D models.
