This is an oblique air photo of the September 11th attack. An oblique air photo is a type of air photo. It is not like your typical straight-vertical style of a birds eye view. It is taken from a certain angle. As you can see, this picture shows the layers of smoke as they travel in between the buildings and around New York City as the twin towers/World Trades Center fall.
9/11
The photo above is of the World Trade Centers after getting struck by the Planes. It shows the smoke coming up off the buildings before collapsing. This could provide good insight to those generations to come as to how big the catastrophe was. The second image is of after the 9/11 incident and everything got cleared away. It looks haunting.
Biome
Bears live in deciduous forests. They hibernate in winters and have thick furs to keep themselves warm.
Icelandic volcano eruption
sattilite of tsunami buddz
In this photo, geologists can use this phone to determine how far the water went inland, they can also use this image to approximate the damage caused by the tsunami including building damage and more. This is a great before and after image of the devastating Tsunami that stuck Sri Lanka On December 26, 2004, tsunamis swept across the Indian ocean, spawned by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Sumatra.
satelite things
This is a picture taken by a satellite of a valcanoe erupting, satelites can track the ash as it blows across continents and inform news stations to send out warnings.
An incidental orbit of the International Space Station allowed the astronauts this striking view of Sarychev Volcano (Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan) in an early stage of eruption on June 12, 2009. Sarychev Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain, and it is located on the northwestern end of Matua Island. |
Post #12 - Air Photo/Satellite Images
Geographers use satellite imaging to study what is not visible from the earth's surface. In this vertical air photo, it is obvious this coastal resort has many geographic features - some one which include spits, sand bars, and groynes. From this view, geographers can study the numerous depths of the bays and even study the currents from the development of coastal processes and features.
forest fires
This is an satellite image of a forest fire. The picture has been taken in infra-red. Geologists can use this image to locate the worst of the fire in certain locations and also tell where it is heading so they can stop it.
Satellite image of forest fire
This is a satellite image of a forest fire. People could use this image to find out where the fire started and where it is heading. With this information, scientists could warn people about the fire and send water bombers in the right area to try and control the fire. This could save hundreds of lives.
OMG ALIENS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS PHOTO IS OF A REAL ALIEN SKULL! THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY A SATELLITE! A GEOGRAPHER MAY USE THIS IMAGE TO FIGURE OUT THE FAUNA OF THE MOON AND FURTHER RESEARCH THE EXISTENCE OF ALIENS ON THA MOON!!!!!!!
