Shape can be distorted Distance between two points may become increased or decreased Relative size of different areas may be altered, so that one area may appear larger than another but is relativel

21 What are the differences between GPS, GIS, and remote sensing?

22 GPS GIS Global Positioning System
A system that accurately determines the precise position of something on earth GIS Geographic Information System Involves storing information about a location in layers. Each layer represents a different piece of human or environmental information

23 Remote Sensing The acquisition of data about Earth’s surface from a satellite orbiting Earth or from other long-distance methods
