Explain why and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are much more...

Explain why and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are much more than just a computer atlas or image visualization system (such as Google Maps and Google Earth). Give examples of how GIS can be used to aid decision-making by creating "what if" scenarios. Describe how a GIS can be used to examine natural and man-made hazards and environmental problems (at least one natural hazard, one man-made hazard, and one environmental problem).
