1. how does geographic information systems (gis) help in analyzing geographic data?

a. by only creating paper maps
b. by storing and analyzing multiple layers of spatial data
c. by measuring wind speed
d. by recording ocean temperatures

Explanation:

• For question 5: Condensation is the process where water vapor changes to liquid water in the water - cycle.
• For question 6: Deserts are known for low precipitation, extreme temperatures, and sparse vegetation.
• For question 7: The boundary between two tectonic plates is called a plate boundary.
• For question 8: The hydrosphere includes all water on Earth in liquid, solid, and gaseous forms.
• For question 9: GIS helps in analyzing geographic data by storing and analyzing multiple layers of spatial data.

Answer:

1. c. Condensation
2. b. Desert
3. b. Plate boundary
4. c. Hydrosphere
5. b. By storing and analyzing multiple layers of spatial data
