Question

Land cover in remote sensing corresponds to:

• A. \(\text{Physical condition of ground surface} \)
• B. \(\text{Physical condition of vegetation} \)
• C. \(\text{Topography of the ground surface} \)
• D. \(\text{Soil cover on land} \)

Hint:

Land cover in remote sensing represents forests, urban areas, water bodies, and bare land, while land use describes human activities on land.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding land cover in remote sensing. - Land cover refers to the physical material covering Earth's surface, such as forests, water bodies, and urban areas.
Step 2: Explanation of incorrect options. - Physical condition of vegetation b.: Falls under land use, not land cover. - Topography c.: Refers to elevation, not land cover. - Soil cover on land d.: A component of land cover but not the full definition.
Step 3: Selecting the correct option. Since land cover refers to the physical condition of the ground surface, the correct answer is a. Physical condition of ground surface.
