Remote sensing is most useful in collecting what type of information?

There are a lot of applications for remote sensing but the most common use for this is for image processing and interpretation. Image processing allows things like air photos and satellite images to be manipulated in such a way that they can use for creating maps and other various projects. By using image interpretation in remote sensing an area can be closely studied without the researcher being physically present there.

the first phase of the government’s plan for settlement was building the transcontinental railroad. the railroad provided a way to bring settlers and manufactured goods west and ship their agricultural and mining produce east. the transcontinental railroad was an essential artery for rapid development of the frontier.

the second phase of the government’s plan was a liberal land distribution policy that made it possible for many people to homestead. with these two key elements—transportation and cheap land—the government rapidly achieved its goal of persuading people to move west, settle on farms, and push back the frontier.
