One uses special techniques in remote sensing to process and interpret remote sensing imagery to obtain conventional maps, resource surveys etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It collects information about geology, geography, forestry agriculture etc. and has a vast application in exploring of natural resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remote Sensing has application in the study of natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides and land subsidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in learning about similar topics?
