Geographic information system, is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking, integrating, manipulating, analyzing and displaying data related to positions on earth’s surface.

 Natural features, man made features, and elevation.  Topographic maps can be used by military forces, recreational purpose, to locate surface features to determine water flow, and mudslides.

They can be used for wildlife preferences and also to target areas in need of valuable resources. They are used to identify habitat loss, to find inaccessible areas, track invasive species, and endangered species.

 The coastline  Fisheries  Natural Resources  Seafloor characteristics

 They can manage crop fields, monitor crop techniques, and project soil loss.
