    A stereo model is composed of a single photograph, but taken at an extremely high altitude.

    • A. 

      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation

  • 9. 

    Satellite images typically cover a larger area than aerial images.

    • A. 

      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Because satellites are further away from Earth, their images typically cover a larger area than aerial images.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    For any project size, aerial imagery is always cheaper to obtain than satellite imagery.

    • A. 

      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
