Exam 1-scg150 16). projections usually retain at least one spatial property that is less distorted than others. a projection that preserves distance relationships and is typically used for distance measurements including those used in navigation can best be described as which type of projection. a. azimuthal b. ellipsoid c. equidistant e. equivalent d. conformal 17). this model of the earth takes into account the bulging of the earth at the equator and the flattening of the poles, but not topography and gravity: a/ ellipsoid e. graticule b. sphere c. geoid d. projection 18). the case study, urban forest management: seeing the trees for the city in new york focused on the importance of street trees. the data collected about street trees was used to create a "tree planting index. what was the specific purpose of this index and the maps created from it? a. to indicate which trees species are preferred for planting by homeowners. b. to indicate the location of trees planted by homeowners. c. d. to indicate the age of trees on city streets and which needed to be cut down. be planted. indica areas where more street trees need b19). which of the following arcgis applications allows the user to create a quality map, including title, scale bar, and north arrow? baremap c. arecatalog d. arclayout a. arctoolbox 20). the mercator projection, world map because it preserves the shape of the continents. the mercator projection can therefore be defined as which type of projection. one of the most commonly used projections, is easily readable as a c conformal d. ellipsoid e. azimuthal a. equidistant b. equivalent 21). a gis contains both spatial and aspatial or non-spatial data. the non-spatial data, including information such the population of cities, is technically called data. e. projecti c. relative d. raster b. locational a. attribute 22). lines, also called parallels, measure the globe from north to south. they distance from each other and are constant across the globe. are at equal longitude d/latitude e. datum c. topology a. graticule 23). this term describes the network formed by the crossing of parallels and meridians on the globe and can be used to pinpoint any location on the earth. e. graticule c. standard lines d. geoid b. projection a. datum
