Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Earthquake
The correct answer is Earthquake. - Earthquake:
- An earthquake is a sudden shaking or trembling of the earth which lasts for a very short time.
- It is caused by a disturbance deep inside the earth’s crust.
- So it is difficult to predict the earthquake.
- But for the prediction, we use remote sensing.
- Remote sensing
- It can be used to obtain data of very remote and inaccessible regions.
- With the help of remote sensing imagery of any area over a continuous period through which any natural changes in the landscape (earthquake) can be analyzed.
- The data collected using it is in various forms such as variations in acoustic wave distributions (SONAR), variations in force distributions (gravity meter), variations in electromagnetic energy distributions.
- The remote sensing is the process of inferring surface parameters from measurements of the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from the Earth’s surface.
- In space-borne remote sensing, sensors are mounted on a satellite orbiting the earth.
