Detailed explanation-1: -Remote sensing techniques provide evidence such as observed lineament, global scale mountain distribution, seismicity and volcanic activities to support crustal scale tectonics and geodynamics studies. Additional spectral information also helps. For example, the grain size differentiates snow and ice.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the main aims of remote sensing investigations is the delineation of hydrothermal alteration zones and the identification of the mineralogical signature [1, 3, 4]. Hydrothermal alteration zones (HAZs) and their grade must be characterized in order to identify possible mineral resource locations [1, 2, 5, 6].
Detailed explanation-3: -Generated images in remote sensing are extensively used to explore mineral deposits. The images facilitate mapping geological features and lineaments and identifying rocks by spectral signature. These images are usually gathered either through synthetic aperture sensors or optical sensors (Munawar et al., 2022).
