technologies in geography to help you understand this problem? Give at least two examples of how you could achieve
this goal using these tools.


Please help!!

Answer 1

Answer:

In this situation, I first need to figure out where the disease is spreading. I could use a tool like GPS to find the exact locations of cases. Another technology I could use is GIS. I could combine maps of my country with data that shows where and when cases have taken place. I could find patterns in how the disease is spreading, which could help me keep it from spreading further.

Answer 2

Answer:

The GIS, along with the collection of real-time data would help me; locate the disease and track symptoms to what is causing it.

Explanation:

The Geographic Information System technology would be useful to help study the areas on the world map that shows similar patterns of diseases. Also the collection of real-time data would help the doctor match the symptoms associated with the spread of disease.
