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.

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.

Which of the following is an example of biological weathering?
vaieri [72.5K]
Biological weathering is caused by living organisms, such as microbes, animals, and plants. Water, oxygen, and rocks are nonliving things (though water and rocks may be capable of weathering), and only plant roots fits the definition of biological weathering. So the correct answer for #1 is A.

Frost wedging occurs when the little water content in rock freezes, expanding and forcing the rock apart. Eventually, enough freeze-melt cycles causes the rock to break apart little by little. This is due to ice's density being less than that of water, meaning that it is because water expands when frozen. So the answer to #2 is A.
