6 0

Answer:

A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that records, stores, checks, and displays data about locations on the Earth's surface.

Explanation:

Any information that involves a location can be used by GIS. The location can be specified in a variety of ways, including latitude and longitude, address, and ZIP code.

Data on people, such as population, income, and education level, can be included in the system. It may contain information on the landscape, such as the location of streams, various types of vegetation, and various types of soil. It could include information regarding factory, agricultural, and school locations, as well as storm drains, highways, and electric power lines.

A single map might incorporate pollution-producing areas, such as industries, as well as pollution-sensitive sites, such as wetlands and rivers, utilizing GIS. A map like this would aid in determining where water resources are most vulnerable.
