1. Provide a brief description of why the following features appear as they do in
this thermal infrared image:
Roads- Light shade; the surface is emitting energy absorbed during day time.
Natural and man-made vegetation- Dark shade; absorbing energy and using it rather than emitting it later.
Sidewalks and patios- Light shade; reflecting energy. Concrete will reflect even small amounts of thermal energy.
Storage sheds in back yards- Dark shade, probably the same material as the house roof shingles, which reflect during the day and cool rapidly at night.
Automobiles- Mostly dark, unless recently driven, which generates heat.
Bright spots on many of the roof tops- Light shade; vent locations from the plumbing and dryers. They are emitting heat.
Yes..good job
