Applications of remote sensing –
Remote sensing is widely applicable in the following areas.
1. Resource exploration – The underground resources like fossil fuels, mineral and oil deposits can be explored using remote sensing. The geological features like faults, fractures, dykes etc can be determined using this.
2. Environmental prediction – The prediction of probable precipitation and related environmental changes can be made base of remote sensing techniques.
3. Land use and land cover analysis – By using remote sensing principles, one can analyse land use and land cover of any locality.
4. Flood or feminine relief - Remote sensing is very effective in case of flood and drought prone areas.
5. Navigation routes – The navigational routes of road, railway and airways can be controlled using remote sensing.
6. Determination of Topography – The various ground features like hill, valley, trees, houses etc. can be determined in highly steep slopes.
