Question

farmers use satellite images created with reflected near-infrared light to monitor crop health.the two satellite images below show the same area along the tuckahoe creek and thechoptank river in maryland. one image is created using visible light, and the other is createdusing near-infrared light. in the false-color, near-infrared image, healthy crops are a brightershade of green than unhealthy crops. forested areas are dark green and fallow fields withoutplanted crops are brown.visible light satellite imagenear-infrared satellite imageselect the true statements.in the near-infrared image, bright green regions represent forests.healthy crops may be identified using near-infrared satellite images.near-infrared satellite images help farmers monitor where crops are growing.fallow fields look green in the visible light satellite image.

Explanation:

1. For the first statement: The text specifies that in the near-infrared image, forested areas are dark green, not bright green, so this is false.
2. For the second statement: The text states that in near-infrared images, healthy crops are a brighter green than unhealthy ones, so they can be identified, making this true.
3. For the third statement: Near-infrared images distinguish crops (bright/dark green) from fallow brown fields, so farmers can see where crops are growing, making this true.
4. For the fourth statement: In the visible light image, fallow fields are brown, not green, so this is false.

Answer:

• Correct: Healthy crops may be identified using near-infrared satellite images.
• Correct: Near-infrared satellite images help farmers monitor where crops are growing.
• Incorrect: In the near-infrared image, bright green regions represent forests.
• Incorrect: Fallow fields look green in the visible light satellite image.
