Question

what is the significance of satellite monitoring?
a. it serves recreational purposes
b. it allows for mining exploration
c. it restricts polar exploration
d. it provides data on polar ice changes

which of these technologies helps capture aerial views of polar landscapes?
a. deep-sea robotics
b. ice drilling
c. gis
d. drones

Explanation:

First Question (Significance of satellite monitoring)

Satellite monitoring is used to gather data on environmental changes. Option a is incorrect as satellite monitoring is not mainly for recreation. Option b: Mining exploration isn't the main significance of satellite monitoring for polar regions. Option c: It doesn't restrict polar exploration; it aids in understanding it. Option d: Satellites can track polar ice changes (like melting, extent), so this is correct.

Option a: Deep - sea robotics is for underwater, not aerial views. Option b: Ice drilling is for sampling ice, not aerial imaging. Option c: GIS (Geographic Information System) is for analyzing data, not capturing aerial views. Option d: Drones can fly over polar landscapes to take aerial photographs or videos, so they help capture aerial views.

Answer:

d. It provides data on polar ice changes
