Satellite technology has allowed us to monitor areas that were once so remote that we had no way of monitoring them. Review the statements and choose the one that best describes how we can use this technology to benefit the environment. North American forests and their ecosystems are some of the most important and difficult to monitor. Satellite surveillance allows us to detect fires in these remote areas and direct firefighting activities early so fires can be quickly contained.
Satellite surveillance has been a great help in the war against smugglers. Law enforcement officials are able to use satellites to track and predict the activities of smugglers. We are all safer because of satellite surveillance.
Satellite surveillance helps us identify the different types of vegetation that cover remote areas. We can then record and catalogue the different types of grasses, bushes, and trees.
Satellites can help us monitor weather conditions all over the world. This can help travelers plan for the weather when they are traveling to other states or countries.

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).
