Nonfiction Benchmark Review: "LiDAR review"

What are the main ideas of the text?

• LiDAR is a technology that was created after the invention of the laser. This technology shines

  laser beams at objects such as trees, lakes, or mountains in order to determine how far away

  they are from a point.

• LiDAR is a technology that shines lasers at objects to determine how far away they are. This

  technology is used to create detailed 3D maps of forests, cities, and many other areas of land

  or water.

• LiDAR is a laser technology that was originally created to track tiny particles in the

  atmosphere. This technology is now used by scientists to document changes in the land after

  earthquakes and floods.

• LiDAR is a laser technology that is used to create detailed 3D maps of hiking trails in forests.

  This technology can be mounted on planes in order to update maps quickly when changes

  occur in the land.
