aerial photography

Taking photographs from a high level (using an aircraft or satellite). Aerial photography enables surface features to be detected, and is used by geologists, surveyors, engineers, and meteorologists. In archaeology, for example, aerial photography reveals surface features (such as crop marks, soil marks, and shadow marks) that are not clearly visible from ground level and that indicate the presence of ancient features; crops will show differences in growth and colour if they are growing over a buried wall foundation or other stone feature.
