Answer to Question 1

Answer: Geographic information systems utilize database to store spatial and non-spatial information that can be then used to analyze, interpret and display geographic information. GIS is the basis for many modern applications such as Internet mapping services such as Google Maps and location features on smart phones.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Maps provide a two dimensional simplified representation of features found on the earth. As a result, geographic information that is difficult to recognize when standing on the Earth often becomes apparent through the use of maps.
