Answer:

...

Step-by-step explanation:

Cartography is a field of science because the process of geographically locating and drawing the accurate representation of land can vary among different groups of people or among political/sociocultural contexts.

Example: The official political map of India shows the region of Jammu and Kashmir as a part of India.

This was a widely disputed topic among the countries of India, China, and Pakistan. Since Kashmir is pre-dominantly Islamic, there has been some fighting over whether it should keep its sovereignty or dissolve with India, which is pre-dominantly Hindustan.
