B3.5 explain the concept of location with the aid of a variety of methods and tools (e.g., geographic coordinates [latitude and longitude], grid coordinates [the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system, geodetic datum], geocoding [using street address, postal code], georeferencing, geocaching, triangula- tion, trilateration)
Sample question: “How might the way you choose to determine or explain location depend on the type of map or tool you are using?”
B3.6 explain the fundamental concepts and processes of a geographic information system (GIS), global positioning system (GPS), and remote sensing, using appropriate terminology (e.g., for GIS: attribute table, layering, querying, buffering; for GPS: satellite and receiver, radio waves, elevation, triangulation, trilateration; for remote sensing: electromagnetic spectrum, targets, active and passive sensors, satellites)
