Explanation / Answer
2) The correct answer is option a i.e started circumnavigation of earth.
3)The earth is a closed system of these four open system i.e biosphere atmosphere hydrosphere and lithosphere. They change energy example is heat and changes mass also example is water vapour.
The correct answer is option d i.e open Subsystem.
4)the correct option is option (d) i.e widely used for making maps. Geopositioning system was started in 1978.
5) The correct answer is option (c) i.e not able to show much details.
