It is often difficult to identify faults and lineaments in the field, because of a plethora of geological conditions, like sedimentary cover, erosion, vegetation over-growth, scale and other factors, including the experience of the geologist or prohibitive costs for manned surveys. Accessibility is also another limiting factor. Because of all of these shortcomings, RS **data** are a valid source for getting accurate information of Earth surface features and land use/land cover patterns.
