Geographical information system: gis a computerized system for the storage, analysis, and display of geographical data, gis is composed of 3 subsystems: In terms of systems theory, gis data can be classified as being an element or an attribute. Furthermore, through analysis we can determine if relationship exists: geographical location of earthquakes. 65% of its present size; the universe continues to expand, getting increasingly larger. / tallest mountains 27 km vs mt. Interior core temperature = 12,000 degree: planet composed of hydrogen and helium, atmosphere hydrogen, helium, and methane. Matter elements and compounds: all matter is made of elements, about 115 different elements, each element is unique, elements are distinct chemically, atom is the smallest bit of matter with unique chemical characteristics; composed of. Energy, temperature, and heat: the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules is sometimes referred to as heat energy. In the atmosphere, heat is transferred mainly by conduction, convection (advection), and radiation.
