Abstract
The research project includes the use of remote sensing data such as multispectral images of Enhanced thematic mapper on board of "Laudsat 7" for the purpose of distinguishing and defining the geological formations it has been shown that in order to achieve the purpose of the research project, an incorporation of the channels TM (7, 5, and 3), was carried out. These spectral bauds with their wavelengths have a bigger preference over other bands in distinguishing between the geological formations. The results are further supported by geomorphological and morphotectonical maps for the limitation of the extensions of the formations and the comparison of these extensions with the study locality. Field specimens were used for the observations of spectral reflections of the selected (ETM7), channels, supervised classification was also used for the correlation, characterization, and limitation and the extension of the geological formations.
