| Description: | Research note Abstract: Air photo pattern criteria to identify rock types in an arid environment were evaluated for their usefulness and accuracy by stereo air photo analysis and field verification. The criteria came from published literature and from unpublished in-house research. In general, the unpublished criteria proved the most useful. New criteria to identify granitic rocks were successfully tested, and criteria for quartzite and andesitic rocks were identified. In addition, a basis was laid to develop criteria to identify metamorphic rocks by composition on aerial photography. |
