Which task is performed by a geographic information system (GIS)?
sergey [27]

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.

I asked a question and it said "why do I screw thing up?" That's how I met a beautiful young woman...she Is nice...but the funny
gulaghasi [49]

Everyone makes mistakes because no is perfect. No one can be perfect no matter how hard they try. Not even that beautiful, young woman. She has her own flaws just like everybody else. So stop asking why do you make mistakes, and start asking how can I learn and grow from your mistakes. If someone doesn't like you for you, thats an issue they have to deal with. It's not your responsibility to change people. Instead move on and find someone better. Someone who will recognize your mistakes as your greatness.
