Unit 1.1

The map shown above best fits which of the following map types?

• Choropleth

• Cartogram

• Proportional symbol

• Dot symbol

• Isoline

Twenty-four specific objects transmit complex radio codes, including time signals traveling at the speed  of light. You can contact at least 4 of the 24 objects  at any time of day or night.
Question

The statement above refers to which of the following?

• GIS stations

• NTMs for chart use

• GPS satellites

• GNIS entries

• TIR scanning systems

Every map projection has some degree of distortion because 

• a curved surface cannot be represented on a flat surface without distortion

• parallels and meridians never cross at right angles on a globe

• the grid system is two-dimensional, while the real world is three-dimensional

• Earth is not a perfect sphere

• latitude lines are shorter than meridian lines

Which of the following geospatial technologies is typically used to analyze the data layers such as those shown in the maps?

• 
  Aerial photography interpretation

• Satellite navigation systems

• Remote sensing satellites

• 
  Geographic information systems (GIS)

• 
  Global positioning systems (GPS)

The maps show data most likely collected through

• election results

• census surveys

• 
  satellite imagery

• informal observation

• interviews

Which of the following types of information is shown in the table?

• Tax records

• Military enlistments

• 
  Census data

• Diplomatic records

• School enrollments

Which of the following statements is an accurate comparison of the two map projections shown?

• 
  The Mercator projection accurately shows direction but distorts the size of some areas compared to the Robinson projection.

• The Robinson projection accurately shows direction but distorts the size of some areas compared to the Mercator projection.

• The Mercator projection accurately shows distances but distorts direction compared to the Robinson projection.

• The Robinson projection accurately shows shapes but distorts direction compared to the Mercator projection.

• 
  The Mercator projection accurately shows area but distorts shapes compared to the Robinson projection.

Which of the following map types is shown?

• Isopleth

• 
  Choropleth

• Dot density

• Reference

• 
  Topographic

The data presented in the map shown depict

• 
  latitude in a Robinson projection

• longitude in a Mercator projection

• population in a cartogram

• elevation topographic map

• taxation in a flow-line map

The location of a place using the latitude-longitude grid is called: 

• A.  referenced location 
• A.  central location
• A.  relative location
• A.  absolute location
