Answer:

The individuality of the finger print is due to the  ridge endings that differentiates one individual from another individual.

There are approximately 150 separate kinds of ridge found in general. Scientist identify the finger of the person by analyzing the two same fingerprints.

The application of finger print recognition helps in finding criminals by matching the finger print of the criminal and the finger print found on the crime scene.

<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.
