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.

The sites based on history that has volcanism related to a hot spot or divergent margin are Hawaii and the mid-ocean ridge. Hawaiian volcanoes within the Pacific Plate are caused by anomalous volcanism.
