Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Maps are two - dimensional. To represent a spherical area, details must be distorted or simplified.
  2. Satellites gather image - based information which helps in making accurate maps.
  3. GPS (Global Positioning System) with 24 satellites collects and transmits information to determine the location of an object.
  4. Common uses of GPS include navigation for vehicles, tracking of wildlife, and location - based services on smartphones.
  5. Geographers create maps, globes, and diagrams to depict aspects of countries and the world and analyze regions.
  6. GIS (Geographic Information System) is a group of computer systems that can integrate various layers of information including different types of maps to solve problems.
