In the Landsat image of the Washington, D. C. - Baltimore area, red represents high density populations with paved land surfaces and green represents fields and forests. Intermediate areas, areas that are just being developed can be seen as tan or
gray. Based on current population growth statistics, scientists have predicted urban sprawl in the Washington-Baltimore areas
as seen in the second Landsat view, year 2030.
Based on the predicted Landsat data, we would expect ALL BUT one situation to occur in the year 2030. That is
-)
A)
increased air pollution.
B)
a decrease in wild animal populations.
an increase in recreational green space.
