Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A geographic information system (GIS) is a tool that allows users to visualize, analyze, and interpret data in the form of maps or other spatial representations. Therefore, the link between data and GIS is a map, making option B the correct answer. While scientific theories may inform how data is collected and interpreted, a GIS is not inherently linked to a specific theory. A computer is the tool used to run a GIS, but it is not what allows for the linking of data. Color and orthophoto mapping are both components of GIS technology, but they do not directly answer the question of what links data and a GIS.
