How we use Satellite
Imaging
The instruments on
remote-sensing satellites study Earth's plant
cover, chemical composition, and surface water,
among many other features. People who work in
farming, fishing, mining, and many other industries
find this information very useful.
We can also use
remote sensing satellites to study changes in the
earth's surface that are caused by people. Examples
of this include the parts of West Africa that are
turning into desert (desertification), and the
destruction of the rainforest in South America
(deforestation).
