Answer:

Satellite images are one of the most powerful and important tools used by the meteorologist. They are essentially the eyes in the sky. These images reassure forecasters to the behavior of the atmosphere as they give a clear, concise, and accurate representation of how events are unfolding.

Aerial and satellite images, known as remotely sensed images, permit accurate mapping of land cover and make landscape features understandable on regional, continental, and even global scales. ... In addition, many images from such space programs as Landsat, begun in 1972, are held by the USGS.

Landslides represent a serious threat to human life and activities in most high mountain chains. ... The study has demonstrated that at present Landsat ETM+ remains the most cost-effective tool for mapping landslide susceptibility, due to its relatively low cost and high spectral resolution.

Answer:

why should a newspaper journalist use a satellite photograph to illustrate the areas of possible flood damage rather than using a topographical map?

The destruction and damage caused by hazardous occurrences like volcanoes, earthquakes, or floods may be seen in satellite pictures. For instance, a comparison of images from before and after (Figure 6) demonstrates how residential neighborhoods along the Indonesian coast vanished entirely after the terrible tsunami in the final week of September 2018.

Pictures draw people in. Both in print and online, news articles featuring images or other visual components are significantly more likely to be read. Pictures entice viewers to read the story. The tale with a picture will usually draw readers' attention if there are five articles on a page.

Pictures can frequently convey a narrative in a manner that words alone cannot. Pictures illustrate relationships, convey emotion, and make narrative ideas clearer. They play a crucial role in the journalism process of telling stories. They are sometimes significant and other times not. Sometimes a picture tells the tale by itself because it is so dramatic. Let's instead focus on a less interesting topic: the headshot.

Let's say the story is about a casual acquaintance of yours that is being investigated for a crime. While you've seen this individual frequently, you only know their first name. Or perhaps you're unsure if the James Arthur Wilson who was arrested is the Jim Wilson you know because he has a very common name. You may confirm it by looking at the arrested person's photo. Also, it will make it plain to all of the other Jim Wilsons in the neighborhood that they aren't the ones accused of the crime to their acquaintances.
