Remote Sensing | Geology

: Large-scale spatial distributions of objects, edges, and lineaments indicate underlying tectonic folds, faults, and landforms. 🛠️ Common Methodologies

: Specific electromagnetic wavelengths (from visible to thermal infrared) react to intra-atomic electronic transitions and inter-atomic bond strengths. This reveals distinct chemical properties of rocks and minerals. Remote Sensing Geology

: Measuring temperature differences to map geothermal activity, soil moisture, and active fault lineations. 🌍 Practical Applications : Large-scale spatial distributions of objects, edges, and

Geological remote sensing depends on extracting information from image characteristics to map surface conditions. The fundamental elements analyzed include: : The texture of a surface influences how

: Tracking active volcanic swell, predicting landslide triggers via digital terrain models, and evaluating earthquake ground displacement.

: The texture of a surface influences how light or radar reflects. Fine grain sizes often create high backscattering, causing smooth surfaces to appear darker and rougher surfaces to appear brighter.

relies on the analysis of reflected and emitted electromagnetic radiation from the Earth's surface to map and monitor geological features from a distance . 🔍 Key Feature Elements
