What Do You Know About Geomatics? - Quiz

2.

All these are other names of Geomatics except...
- Geomatics Engineering
- Surveying Engineering
- Geospatial Technology
- Geological Surveying
Correct Answer

A. Geological Surveying

Explanation

Geomatics is a field that encompasses various disciplines related to spatial data acquisition, management, analysis, and visualization. Geomatics Engineering, Surveying Engineering, and Geospatial Technology are all names that are commonly associated with the field of Geomatics. However, Geological Surveying is not typically considered a part of Geomatics. Geological Surveying focuses specifically on the study and mapping of geological features and formations, whereas Geomatics has a broader scope that includes other aspects such as remote sensing, GIS, and cartography.

Which of these area of applications best describes field of study that focuses on the process of monitoring and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another?
- Navigation
- Physics
- Geophysics
- Geonavigation
Correct Answer

A. Navigation

Explanation

Navigation is the correct answer because it refers to the field of study that deals with the process of monitoring and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another. It involves techniques and methods used to determine the position, direction, and route of a vehicle, such as ships, aircraft, or spacecraft, to ensure safe and efficient travel. Navigation is essential in various applications, including maritime navigation, aviation navigation, and space navigation.

Which of these Areas of Knowledge of Geomatics is related to Physics?
- Geodynamics
- Geostatics
- Geodesy
- Hydrography
Correct Answer

A. Geodynamics

Explanation

Geodynamics is the correct answer because it is the area of knowledge in Geomatics that is related to Physics. Geodynamics focuses on the study of the movement and forces within the Earth's crust, including plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. Physics plays a crucial role in understanding the underlying principles and mechanisms behind these geological phenomena, making Geodynamics closely connected to Physics in the field of Geomatics.

Geomatics first appeared in which of these years?
- 1982
- 1983
- 1981
- 1984
Correct Answer

A. 1981

Explanation

Geomatics is a relatively new field that combines geography and information technology to gather, analyze, and interpret spatial data. The question asks for the year when Geomatics first appeared, and the correct answer is 1981. This suggests that Geomatics emerged as a distinct discipline in that year, likely due to advancements in technology and the increasing demand for spatial data analysis.

Who introduced geomatics as a new scientific form?
- Michel Paradise
- Michell Paradis
- Michelle Paradis
- Michel Paradis
Correct Answer

A. Michel Paradis

Explanation

Michel Paradis is the correct answer because he introduced geomatics as a new scientific form.

Rate this question:
7.

What is the nationality of the Surveyor who introduced the new scientific term?
- France
- Greece
- Russia
- Canada
Correct Answer

A. France

Explanation

The correct answer is France. This is because the question asks for the nationality of the Surveyor who introduced the new scientific term, and France is the only nationality mentioned in the options.

8.

The term 'Spatial Science' mean 'Geomatics' and it is used in?
- Russia
- Canada
- Australia
- America
Correct Answer

A. Australia

Explanation

Spatial science, also known as geomatics, is a term used to describe the study and analysis of spatial data and its relationship with the Earth's surface. It encompasses various disciplines such as surveying, cartography, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS). Australia is known for its strong focus on spatial science and has a well-developed industry and academic sector dedicated to this field. Therefore, Australia is the correct answer as it is a prominent country where spatial science is used extensively.

9.

These are the Geomatics' Areas of Application except.
- Geodesy
- Geodynamics
- Photogrammetry
- Geospatial
Correct Answer

A. Geospatial

Explanation

Geospatial is the correct answer because it is not an area of application in Geomatics. Geomatics is a field that involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data. Geodesy focuses on the measurement and representation of the Earth's surface, Geodynamics deals with the study of the Earth's dynamic processes, and Photogrammetry involves the extraction of information from photographs. However, Geospatial refers to the use of spatial data and technologies for mapping, analysis, and visualization, rather than being a specific application area within Geomatics.

All these are related to Geomatics, identify the odd one.
- Construction surveying
- Deformation survey
- Engineering surveying
- Map surveying
Correct Answer

A. Map surveying

Explanation

The odd one out in this list is "Map surveying" because it does not involve the physical measurement and analysis of land or structures like the other three options. Construction surveying, deformation survey, and engineering surveying all involve gathering data and making precise measurements for various construction and engineering purposes. However, map surveying focuses on the creation and interpretation of maps, which is a different aspect of geomatics that involves cartography and spatial data analysis.
