<u>Answer</u>: C) They can find the neighborhoods that are in the most danger, where to set up shelters, and which routes will help people reach safety.  

<u />

<u>Explanation</u>: GIS is an extremely useful tool in analyzing geographic information. By overlaying  topographic data as well as infrastructure, populations, bio-physical datasets (e.g. flood, landslide, storm surge, earthquake data), vulnerable areas as well are relatively safe areas can be detected. Thus, routes to safety as well as shelter construction can be planned.

The strength of an earthquake as well floodwater depth cannot be determined in advance with GIS. The bio.physical datasets that are used come from events that have already occurred and not future events. With GIS the damage caused by a future even can be <em>estimated</em>, but the strength of the natural disaster itself cannot.

When glucose molecules are broken down, energy is released, and carbon dioxide and water are produced. What is this process call
Tcecarenko [31]
Hi there!

This process is known as cellular respiration. It is essential for all living to survive because it allows aerobic organisms to convert food into energy - without cellular respiration, we would not be able to produce energy, making it impossible to perform bodily functions that are important for life. 

The word equation for cellular respiration is:
Glucose (energy) + Oxygen + Water ⇒ Carbon Dioxide + Water 

The balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂+6H₂O⇒6CO₂+12H₂O

Hope this helps!
