Infared photography is very useful in todays modern world, espcially for the use of military needs. It distinguishes between places of high and low heat. Infared in maps can be used to show differences in population, agricultural uses, or to show places that have been highly effected by industrialization. In the above picture it is showing the effects of urbanization on the water flow in the Gulf of Maine. Areas in red are places that were highly effected by urbanization.
