Explanation:

Topographic maps represent the Earth's surface elevation and terrain features.

• Recreation like camping/hiking uses them to navigate terrain.
• Engineering projects (roads/buildings) rely on them to assess land slope and terrain.
• Mapping stars is astronomy, unrelated to surface topographic maps.
• Analyzing population centers uses demographic maps, not topographic ones.
• Analyzing surface features is a core use of topographic maps.

Answer:

• recreation, such as camping and hiking
• engineering, such as the construction of roads and buildings
• science, such as analyzing surface features
