Answer:

Overlay is a GIS operation that superimposes multiple data sets (representing different themes) together for the purpose of identifying relationships between them.[2]. An overlay creates a composite map by combining the geometry and attributes of the input data sets. Tools are available in most GIS software for overlaying both Vector or raster data.

Explanation:

Before the use of computers, a similar effect was develioped by Ian McHarg and others by drawing maps of the same area at the same scale on clear plastic and actually laying them on top of each other.

I’d say C.

A doesn’t make sense, they definitely could’ve domesticated animals in that time.

B doesn’t make sense either, they could’ve easily seen smoke signals, the sky wasn’t filled with them often.

C is just a weird answer. I doubt they were “passive observers” but probably the best answer to the question.

D doesn’t add up because they definitely needed agriculture/food surpluses. They were always hunting, they obviously ran out of food rather quickly.


So C is the answer.

Answer:

A)

Explanation:

A. increased water scarcity B. overfishing C. decreased soil salinity D. deforestation

Overfishing, decreased soil salinity and deforestation are concerns about agricultural production and its effect but the increased water scarcity is not.

Overfishing is considering a fish species from the water and because of that population of fish is lack which is not good.

Soil salinity can stop the plant from growing and also the quality of water.

Deforestation is the removal of forests or trees and it has a big effect on agricultural production.
