Aerial photographs are valuable in geological investigation chiefly for revealing

  • A.lineaments, drainage patterns and old landslides
  • B.the compressive strength of the exposed rock
  • C.the depth to bedrock at any chosen point
  • D.the chemical quality of the groundwater present

Answer: A

Correct answer: lineaments, drainage patterns and old landslides

Aerial photographs show the ground as a whole, and features invisible from within the site read clearly from above: fault lineaments, drainage anomalies, the lobate form of an old landslide, differences in vegetation over shallow rock. Stereo pairs add the relief. What they cannot give is anything quantitative about the material itself.
