Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The question is not complete since no map is attached, but I would show you how to solve it.

When trying to determine the location of the epicenter of the earthquake, we need at least three different seismic stations. To find the epicenter, a method known as triangulation is used. This is done by drawing circle at each of the seismic stations with the radius of the circle equal to the distance from the station to the earthquake. The point of intersection of this three circles is the epicenter.

In this problem, a circle with a radius of 380 miles is drawn at Phoenix, 280 miles radius circle at Denver and a 880 miles radius circle at California. The point of intersection of the circle gives the epicenter. Note that the circles are drawn to scale.

In GIS Sometimes data can be represented a points, lines and polygons, what type of data model is this? What is another type of
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

<u>Two types of gis data representation method are raster and vector</u>

Explanation:

  • In a GIS the data that is represented by the pints, line, and polygons is raster data and it's stored in the real world like phenomenon also known as the discrete data.
  • Raster data is made up of pixel values and attributes that are associated with its color values, data is represented by the grids of cells. Stores spatial data more  
  • Another type of data model being the vector model that focuses on lines,  polygons and area points are expressed by the single point reference. For example, cities on a map. A line like the rivers the roads the railroads, trails, and topographic and polygons include the lakes, park boundaries, buildings, etc.
  • Vector data is most compatible with the relational database environments. Vector file sizes are hence usually very smaller than raster data. Raster data is computationally less expensive as compared to vector graphics. Stores nonspatial data.

Which flowchart best explains how a change in ocean temperature, such as
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

D. Ocean - Atmosphere -  Wind - Weather

Explanation:

  • The El Nino (warm) and La Nina (cool) are the opposing phases of climatic patterns in the tropical pacific ocean and take place every 3 to 7 years. Combined they are called ENSO.  
  • First, in the El Nino ocean temperatures in the eastern tropical pacific ocean rise above average and this leads to rainfall over Indonesia and storms in central pacific. This rising air increases the air motion and leads to dryness and high surface pressure during the La Nina phase this condition gets reversed.
  • During the El Nino, the northwestern pacific tends to be warmers and the southern tier of California tends to be cooler and wetter. These surface temperatures are caused and changed by the help of trade winds. These blows from east to west along the pacific ocean.
  • These phenomena thus influenced the weather along the western and the eastern pacific ocean.
