    model unveiled by IBM and NASA?
    A To create high-resolution maps of traffic patterns Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B To predict the location of natural resources Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C To track the movements of wildlife Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D To monitor the spread of diseases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E To convert satellite data into high-resolution maps of floods, fires, and other landscape changes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    IBM in collaboration with NASA unveiled a new geospatial foundation model designed to convert satellite data into high-resolution maps of floods, fires, and other landscape changes to reveal the planet’s past and hint at its future. This geospatial offering is expected to be available for preview in the second half of this year. Potential applications of this platform would include helping estimate climate-related risks to crops, buildings, and other infrastructure, valuing and monitoring forests for carbon-offset programmes, and developing predictive models to help enterprises create strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
