How does ISRO's NISAR satellite contribute to monitoring tectonic movements accurately

Understanding the capabilities of ISRO's NISAR satellite in tracking tectonic movements with precision.
  • Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) Technology: NISAR satellite uses InSAR technology to measure ground deformation caused by tectonic movements.
  • High Resolution Imaging: NISAR provides high-resolution images, allowing for accurate tracking of even subtle tectonic movements.
  • Regular Monitoring: NISAR can monitor the Earth's surface at regular intervals, enabling scientists to detect changes over time.
  • Precision Measurements: The satellite can measure ground deformation with millimeter-scale precision, providing detailed insights into tectonic activities.
  • Global Coverage: NISAR's wide coverage area allows for monitoring tectonic movements across various regions around the world.
