How to fix misaligned and improperly referenced spatial data, including taking into consideration project properties?

First, it is important to analyze if the data is aligned or not, and one way to do it is by measuring and comparing distances or reviewing if the spatial reference is correct. Following this step, the solution consists in changing the spatial reference to the appropriate one and by doing this, the problem should be fixed.

Advantages to using remotely sensed Landsat data for geographic analysis

This data has innumerable uses, as well as advantages when it comes to geographical analysis. First, it is constantly updated after every 16 days, which allows to a very accurate compare and contrast geographical analysis. Also, it provides different layers to highlight many different changes, whether it is in the topography, temperature, or other geographical elements. At last, Earth and its processes are dynamic, therefore Landsat makes it possible to keep track of all this fluctuations by working as an eye which constantly observes the planet and its events, which it would be incredibly difficult to get this data without using such technological system.
