Another name for a drainage basin is watershed or even a catchment basin/area

<u>Explanation</u>:

It is a piece of land where water collects and later drains off into the same outlet. This water gets collected from rain, snowfall, underground water and nearby narrow streams. They form a hierarchical pattern by connecting with other basins.

The drainage divide is what divides basins from one another by forming topographical barriers. Close basin is one type where there is a single point known as the sink within the basin where all the water collects. This sink could a lake which is dry or an area where all water on surface is lost underground.

Describe three ways geographic knowledge or tools are used in professions other than geography
zloy xaker [14]

In the medical field the basic ideas of geospatial technology can be applied. Similar to a GPS, doctors have tools to provide pinpoint measurements of information via remote sensing applications such as X-Rays and other body scans. The GIS then can be applied to take the data along with other forms of information to apply a layering of all the information to produce statistical reports. These reports are then analyzed to form a diagnosis and then determine a predictive measurement for a positive effect.
