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.

You need more speed to orbit a planet than you do to escape from it

Ahat [919]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Escape velocity is the speed needed for any freely moving object to run away from the gravitational pull of the massive body like the sun. This depends on the direction of movement as earth's escape velocity is 465m/s at the equator so a rocket would need a speed of 10.73 km from where the rocket would launch the surface velocity would impact it and the escape velocity would eventually decrease due to friction and gravity pull.

How might the surface landscape above a laccolith look?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

It would look like an uplift or dome because the laccolith below is a lens-shaped mass of magma that pushes the rock above it upward.

Explanation:

The laccolith is formed by volcanic activity. Not all of the magma is contracted in the volcano and comes out form it or solidifies in it. Some of the magma actually moves below ground in the surrounding area, using the cracks as pathways. When this magma cools off deep underground it creates intrusions.

One of those intrusions is the laccolith. The laccolith can be described as having a lens-shape, or that it looks like a mushroom. The laccolith is in intrusion that pushes the crust upwards, so the surface above it uplifts or looks like a dome that sticks out in its surroundings.

The laccolith may come out eventually on the surface because of the weathering and erosion, but for that to happen usually millions of years are needed.
