Dimensional Tools
Geographers Use to Learn About the World
The tools geographers use drawn out maps in 2 dimension & 3 dimension. They also use technology to help them observe the world better such as GPS & GIS.
Geographers use a variety of maps, photographs and Earth scans to help them study and better understand our small blue planet.
