technologies like world mapping. GPS, city planning INTRODUCTION
and other. Remote sensing is one of the many
innovations that were possible. Remote sensing major
application area are weather, forestry, agriculture,

surface changes and biodiversity.

The primary application of remote sensing :

1. Analyzing the condition of rural roads.
2. Creating a base map for visual reference.

02
3. Computing snow pack
4. Collecting earth’s pictures from space
5. Controlling forest fires.
6. Detecting land use and land cover
04
7. Estimating forest supplies.
8. Locating construction and building alteration.
9. Figuring out fraud insurances claims.
10. Observing climate change.
11. Predicting potential landslides.
