A topographic map represents earth's surface features like land forms and structures, rivers and lakes, mountains and hills, elevations and other natural features along with man-made artificial features like cities, buildings, monuments, roads, bridges etc. These are formed by contour lines.

Topographic maps are printed with revision dates to observe the changes happening on the Earth's surface. Various land forms keeps changing due to natural and man-made causes and these needs to be updated accordingly to provide accurate details.

A satellite image provides details of the earth aerially from space. These provides details of a land form or any earth structure currently.

Answer:

Biogenesis = <u>Life from life</u> : Spontaneous Generation = <u>Life from non-living things</u>

Explanation:

As an accurate statement of the difference between spontaneous generation and biogenesis:

Spontaneous generation that sometimes refers to "abiogenesis" is an idea that life comes from non-living things/components. Whereas biogenesis is a contemporary concept that life can only arise from another living thing.

Cell division, a baby of mice born from adult males and females, etc. are some examples of biogenesis. In contrast, there is no example of spontaneous generation. It remains a theoretical concept.
