Try these first

1. 1.

   What is remote sensing?

   Hint

   Think about data collection methods that don't require direct contact.

2. 2.

   Name one application of GIS and remote sensing integration.

   Hint

   Consider fields that benefit from spatial data analysis.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of remote sensing in relation to GIS?

   • To provide up-to-date data
   • To replace GIS
   • To store data

   Hint

   Think about how data is collected in remote sensing.

4. 4.

   True or False: Remote sensing can only collect data from fixed locations.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the technology involved in remote sensing.

5. 5.

   Design a study that integrates GIS with remote sensing to monitor urban heat islands over time. What data would you collect and analyze?

   Hint

   Consider how both data types affect urban living conditions.

6. 6.

   Discuss a scenario where remote sensing could be crucial in disaster response involving flooding. What information would benefit emergency responders?

   Hint

   Think about what data would be most useful for immediate action.
