Answer 1

Scientists use a land surface temperature map  to study the effects of temperature on plant growth.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Land surface temperature is the means by which hot the "surface" of the Earth would feel to the touch in a specific area. From a satellite's perspective, the "surface" is whatever it sees when it glances through the air to the ground. It could be day off ice, the grass on a yard, the top of a structure, or the leaves in the shade of a woods. In this way, land surface temperature isn't equivalent to the air temperature that is remembered for the every day meteorological forecast.  

Business ranchers use land surface temperature maps like these to assess water prerequisites for their yields throughout the mid year, when they are inclined to warm pressure. On the other hand, in winter, these maps can help citrus ranchers to figure out where and when orange forests could have been presented to harming ice.
