The correct answer is - With full, red line.

The circum-pacific belt is represented with a full red line. The line marks all of the belt uninterruptedly, starting from New Zealand, through the islands of Southeast Asia, along the coast of East Asia, bellow the Bering Strait, and along the western coasts of North and South America, ending at Patagonia.

This line, roughly represents the tectonic plate boundaries of the Pacific plate with the other plates with which it is in contact, or rather getting submerged bellow them. Because the plate boundaries are convergent, with the Pacific plate submerging bellow the others, there's intense geologic activity, manifested through earthquakes, volcanic activity, tsunamis.

Explain GIS and describe an example of the use of GIS in Environmental Science and in Computer Sciences

Naily [24]

Answer:

GIS is used Geographic Information System

Explanation:

GIS is used geographic information system. it used to analyze feature temporally and spatially. In spatially assessment, spatial distribution map which also defined as SDM Map are drawn to show variation between spatial feature. SDM are commanly used water quality assessment to assess quality of water between different region.

the main component of GIS is Mapping, monitoring, ,measuring management.

in environmental engineering GIS is used to locate the location of the data, which is used to draw variation between the region.

air quality modelling, water quality modelling are some attribute where GIS can work effectively

in computer engineering

GIS enables define digital maps, navigation instruments and instruments for spatial inclusion in computer science. It can also be used for web services

The movement of material due to differences in density that are caused by differences in tempeture is called?

Sergio039 [100]

Convection. It occurs when a cooler, denser mass of gas or liquid replaces a warmer, less dense mass of gas or liquid by pushing it upward. A good example would be steam rising from a pot of boiling water on a stove top.
When the water is boiled, the water moves in roughly circular patterns because of convection. This motion is due to density differences that result from temperature differences. Also referred as a convection current.

Hope this helps you out.

In aerial photos or high resolution satellite images, the shadow of an object can be indicative of the relative height of a feat

Andrew [12]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The use of shadows to determine an objects height from aerial photographs is an essential part of satellite image interpretation. The length of the shadow is used to determine the height.

Orthophoto is a type of satellite imagery that has been adjusted using special devices. This kind of imagery is correct geometrically, this means it can be used to measure actual distances One notable fact about orthophoto is the fact that the side of the images can not be seen. The use of shadows to determine an objects height can compliment the geometrically accurate photos. That makes the shadow feature of a satellite image important to orthophotography.
