This was from my comment when I was not able to answer earlier:

It is a scanning of an high-flying aircraft or a satellite to obtain information. Three tools that can be used is infra-red, cameras, and air photography.

We have that the definition of remote sensing and the three remote sensing tools that geographers can use are

Remote sensing

This is simply defined as the Means through which a geographer Detects and Reads the Physical environment around him by the use of Radiation emitting devices that are reflected back for results to be taken.

  • Film photography
  • Charge coupled devices
  • Radiometers

From the question we are told that

  • What is remote sensing
  • Describe the three remote sensing tools that geographers can use.

Generally

Remote sensing

This is simply defined as the Means through which a geographer Detects and Reads the Physical environment around him by the use of Radiation emitting devices that are reflected back for results to be taken.

It is important to note that geographers Use tool of Different ranges for Remote sensing But below are a Three major Remote sensing devices

  • Film photography
  • Charge coupled devices
  • Radiometers

Film photography

This Is the use of Cameras to Get a sense of the environment or Space under their survey

Charge coupled devices

These are Devices that relate to The emission of rays and use the reflection of these rays as feedback to understand the space under their survey

Radiometers

This is strictly use for the Reading of rays or Radiation Energy
