Explain the concept of NDVI in remote sensing.

• NDVI is a method to detect urban areas in remote sensing.

• NDVI is a measure of temperature in remote sensing.

• NDVI is a numerical indicator calculated using the formula (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red) to assess the presence and health of vegetation in remote sensing.

• NDVI is used to calculate ocean salinity in remote sensing.

Discuss the role of GIS in natural resource management.

• GIS helps in collecting, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data related to natural resources, aiding in decision-making processes for conservation and sustainable use.

• GIS has no impact on natural resource management

• GIS is only used for urban planning, not natural resource management

• GIS is a costly tool that is not worth investing in for natural resource management

What is the difference between active and passive remote sensing?

• Active remote sensing provides higher resolution images compared to passive remote sensing.

• The main difference is that active remote sensing emits energy, while passive remote sensing detects natural energy.

• Active remote sensing only uses satellites, while passive remote sensing uses drones.

• Active remote sensing is more expensive than passive remote sensing.

Give an example of a satellite used for earth observation.

• GeoEye satellite

• Orbitsat satellite

• Spysat satellite

• Landsat satellite

How can remote sensing data be used in disaster management?

• Remote sensing data can be used in disaster management by providing real-time information on the extent of the disaster, assessing damage, identifying affected areas, monitoring changes over time, and aiding in decision-making for response and recovery efforts.

• Remote sensing data can be used in disaster management by creating obstacles for response teams

• Remote sensing data can be used in disaster management by predicting future disasters

• Remote sensing data can be used in disaster management by causing delays in recovery efforts

Describe the process of image classification in remote sensing.

• Image classification in remote sensing is the process of assigning land cover classes to pixels based on their spectral characteristics.

• Image classification is the process of converting satellite images into 3D models

• Image classification in remote sensing involves assigning colors to pixels based on their location

• Image classification is the process of identifying individual objects in an image
