: The texture of a surface influences how light or radar reflects. Fine grain sizes often create high backscattering, causing smooth surfaces to appear darker and rougher surfaces to appear brighter.
: Variations in tone directly represent distinct minerals, soils, and water levels. For instance, high iron content absorbs light around 550 nm, creating specific visual anomalies. Remote Sensing Geology
