Answer:

(B) Finding zip codes of areas with high population

Explanation:

A geographic information system (GIS) is designed to display data related to location.

You can express the location in different ways, such as address or ZIP code, and the system can include data like population density.

The diagram below shows the population density in the zip codes of a given county.

(A) is wrong. The concentration of atmospheric oxygen is about the same everywhere (but the amount of pollution isn't).

(C) is wrong. GIS is not of much use in recognizing the location of an accident, but it could be useful if you plotted the locations of many accidents over a period of time.

(C) is wrong. GIS is not of much use in examining the traffic over a single bridge, but it might be useful for comparing the traffic over many different bridges in an area.

What is the purpose of a geological time scale ?

horrorfan [7]

The correct answer is C. It is used to determine the absolute dates in years for different periods.

Explanation

The geological timescale is a tool that has been developed over the years by geologists to establish a frame of reference in which important events in the history of the Earth and life are represented in chronological order. This scale is organized from divisions and subdivisions, from the relative age of the rocks according to their relative age and the absolute time elapsed since the formation of the Earth to the present. Through this scale it has been possible to establish historical periods such as when dinosaurs lived. So the correct answer is C.
