7000 is a number with ambiguous zeroes. Written this way, we can't be sure whether or not the zeroes are significant. You have specified 2 sig figs, so we must use scientific notation.
Scientific notation specifies:
A nonzero digit (1-9) in the 'ones' place
A decimal for two or more sig figs
Every significant digit must be shown, including all significant zeroes
A factor of ten raised to a power to move the decimal to the correct place
In this case, the seven and a zero are significant.
