Abstract
Natural phenomena are continually changing the coastline and sculpting the land in various ways. By surveying these changes a map can be produced of a landscape in flux. But if the landscape is ever changing, what does it tell us about the precision of flux. The essay also tries to give an answer to the question if there can be error in flux or if the essence of flux is made out of error. First it will be introduced by looking at the representability of open source satellite imagery and the intelligence behind the processes they go through. In the process minor errors can appear that can affect our resolution of a place by looking from afar. These errors are tried to make apparent by mapping out three different types of natural phenomena in combination with man made architecture. The topic will be surveyed with the use of a case study surrounding Gwadar, Pakistan.
