Answer:

      GIS is a system that processes graphical and non-graphical (alphanumeric) data with emphasis on spatial analysis and surface modeling. It is a spatially indexed database, on which operates a set of procedures for answering queries about spatial entities.

    A GIS handles the following data types:

  • Data from various source sources and formats presented, with spatial relationships to each other (topology - structure of spatial relationships that can be established between geographic objects).
  • Data can be broadly separated into thematic maps, cadastral maps (object maps), networks, images, and numerical terrain models.

Influence of the Global Air Masses
julia-pushkina [17]

When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.
