wendell can tell that the trees on the mountain are very far away, because rather than being able to see individual trees and the spaces between them, he just perceives a big green patch. which depth cue best describes this?

The correct answer is - texture gradient.

Explanation:

The texture gradient is a depth cue that is a distortion in comparison of size in objects that are farther or closer. In this cue, it looks denser as u move away from the object.

It is dependent on the sense of the depth perception as Wendell can easily tell that trees on the mountain are far from him as he only sees a dense green patch instead of trees individual trees and space in between in them.

Thus, the correct answer is option - texture gradient.

i guess because there isn't enough love going around. < 3
