What is Data Layering
A lot of GIS systems could allow for the separation of different geographic features in logical categories. These categories are called map layers. Each of these layers contains information taken from one geographic feature or from a selected small group that has related features. Because data is separated in layers, they can be easily<span> manipulated and spatially analyzed</span>

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.

Which statement best explains why early humans in Africa tended to settle near rivers or river valleys?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

These areas had the most resources.

Explanation:

When you are settled by rivers, you have the sources you need to grow crops, raise life such as cows, pig, chicken. Not only this but you also have a place to bath, collect drinking water, and wash clothing. Life thrives more on river sides rather than inland during these times as they did not have all the tech we do today.

Question 1
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The factor that plays a signficant role in the shifting of both voting patterns and district boundaries is population.

Explanation:

In the United States, district boundaries and voting patterns are largely dependent on population.  This is one reason why the national census carried out in the United States every 10 years is so important. The information from the Census is used to delegate federal money for government programs, it is used by the Department of Education for school district information, and it is also the basis for drawing up congressional district boundaries and for assessing voting patterns. In most states, the district boundaries are decided by the state legislature and both chambers have to approve the boundary plans in the majority. In some states, the governor has the power to veto this decision, but in others, he does not. In recent years there have been criticisms of this system because it can be subject to political manipulation where through gerrymandering a party tries to divide up a district, for example. This happens when say a poor neighborhood that wants to vote Democrat is split between two neighborhoods that vote Republican so that the Republican wins both seats more easily.

Describe the role of animals in the water and carbon cycles.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Animals ingest food containing carbon sources such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. (Which they get from plants that have absorbed and converted the carbon dioxide into other energies). They then metabolise these substances to produce waste products. One of these waste products is carbon dioxide which they breathe into the atmosphere. Also animals faeces is broken down by bacteria which give off carbon dioxide as they do so.
