Some ground changes might not stand out after an earthquake.
But radar satellites can capture these shifts by comparing images taken at different times, revealing what happened beneath the surface.
The result is an interferogram: a pattern of coloured bands where each line shows how much the ground moved.
These patterns allow scientists to map how the Earth’s surface has moved, even when the changes aren’t visible to the eye.
