Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.28 Interpreting Remote Sensing and Satellite Imagery skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A river village has been imaged every spring for six years. The channel keeps widening across the floodplain, flooded area around homes expands after high-rainfall years, and interviews confirm repeated evacuations. What conclusion is best supported?
AThe village should widen roads mainly for tourism
BOne floodplain image cannot inform decisions
CThe river is stable and low risk
DRelocation planning is reasonable because flood risk is repeatedly increasing
Solution & Explanation:Repeated imagery and local interviews both show growing flood impacts, which supports considering relocation or other major risk reduction.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Vegetation appears less red in a false-color image taken after a severe cold snap, even though the land use has not changed. What is the best explanation?
AThe satellite forgot to record vegetation
BPlant stress lowered near-infrared reflectance
CWater turned into asphalt overnight
DFarmland instantly became urban land
Solution & Explanation:Cold stress can reduce plant vigor, weakening the near-infrared response that often makes vegetation appear red in false-color images.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A land-cover classification mislabeled many wetlands as cropland. Which step would most directly improve accuracy?
AIgnore the wetland errors because cropland covers more area
BAdd more ground-truth points in wetlands and retrain the classification
CUse fewer training samples so the model sees less variation
DDelete wetland pixels from the output map
Solution & Explanation:If wetlands are being confused with cropland, better sample data from wetlands can help the classification learn the difference.
