Urbanization of the southwest region of the U.S.
Urbanization of the southwest
region of the U.S.
INTRODUCTION
· The process of urbanization has increased the rate of transformation in the Southwest region of the United States.
· The very high rate of population growth in the southwest region has made the population rise and have led to the rapid urbanization
· The population of the southwest region have increased by almost 3 times between the years of 1950 and 1990.

Figure 2 : The images were rendered accordingly to view the brightest lights in the southwest regions corresponding to the most urban areas. In this image the red light indicates the most lit u areas followed by the yellow lights, representing the second most lit up areas and so on. Las Vegas shows the brightest city on the planet
Urbanization of the South West region in the United States
· The organization that have published data regarding the extent of Urbanization in the Southwest region of the United states are the USAF Defense Meteorological Satellite Program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
· Nighttime images have been provided that have shown the extent of urbanization
· The following figures are indicated :The satellite image of the
· The white light regions show the areas inhabited by humans for example the towns, cities, metropolitan places, industrial area etc as seen by the U.S. Air Force DMSP satellites.
· No ephemeral sources of light such as forest fire, lightning and gas flares has been included in the regions shown.
· These areas have been matches with the electric power consumption regions by the data processed at NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center
· Night time images captured can be useful for monitoring of the rate of urbanization of South west region in the future as well.
Geographic Data for the Urbanisation of southwest region
· Based on the data that has been published by the NOAA's...
