4. A method for representing Earth's curved surface on a flat map.
6. A system using satellites to provide precise location data on Earth.
7. A map projection showing Earth from a central point, often used for polar areas.
9. A map projection combining features of cylindrical and conic types.
10. Imagery detecting heat emissions for environmental and industrial applications.
11. A computer system for capturing, storing, and analyzing geographic data.
13. A flat representation of Earth's surface.
14. The ratio between a map's distance and actual distance on Earth.
15. Collecting data about Earth's surface from a distance, often via satellites.

1. The U.S.-based Global Navigation Satellite System.
2. A map projection using a cone shape, suitable for mid-latitude regions.
3. Imagery capturing heat or light wavelengths beyond visible light.
5. A map projection best for equatorial regions but distorts poles.
8. Lines on a map connecting points of equal value, such as elevation or temperature.
12. A three-dimensional, spherical model of Earth.
