Current in the Detroit of Messina (Sicily) seen by satellite - Waves in the Messina strait seen by satellite - The Detroit of Messina is a detroit in the Mediterranean Sea that separates the Italian peninsula from the island of Sicily. It connects the Ionian Sea to the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its smallest width is 3.3 km and its depth is less than 100 metres. The currents are therefore violent in places. In this satellite photo obtained by the Terra satellite on 11 August 2003, strong waves are visible. At the bottom left, the purple spot is Mount Etna. The Messina Strait is connecting the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Ionian Sea in Mediterranean sea. With 3 kilometers (2 miles) wide at its narrowest point it doesn't grow very deep, only about 90 meters (300 feet). The Messina Strait's strong currents can rip seaweed from the ocean floor. The main current runs from south to north, but a smaller current runs in the opposite direction. The currents alternate about every six hours, and the strait's com

Algerian Sahara seen by satellite - Algerian Sahara seen from space - The Tanezrouft Basin is one of the most desolate regions of the Sahara Desert, in southern Algeria. The Tanezrouft region is characterised by its hills of dark gres, its subdued canyons, its stretches of salt (in white), its rocky plateaus, the concentric loop patterns of its storey outcrops and its seas with sand dunes as tall as buildings and which are called ergs. The Erg Mehedjibat, which appears here as a bouquet of yellow flowers (at the top right), is made up of small star dunes that grow in height rather than horizontally. The Japanese satellite ALOS (Advanced Land Observation Satellite) took this image on 24 June 2009 using its camera AVNIR - 2 (Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type - 2) which was designed to map emergeal lands and vegetation with a resolution of 10 m. The image shows the extraordinary landscape of the Tanezrouft Basin, one of the most desolate parts of the Sahara desert, in sou

Copper Mines in Arizona - USA - Open pit Copper mines - Arizona: Three open-air copper mines near the city of Green Valley in Arizona. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on January 14, 2010. This astronaut photograph illustrates three open-pit mines located west-northwest of the town of Green Valley, Arizona. While the mines appear to be close to each other, each exploits a separate porphyry copper deposit. The mine pits are recognizable by the concentric lines of benches cut into the pit sides. The benches allow equipment and personnel access to the fresh ore (gray) exposed at the bottom of the excavation. Water may also pool at the bottom of inactive pits, such as in the Twin Buttes Mine at image upper right (black areas). The open pit areas are surrounded by an array of sculpted tailings ponds and mine dump areas; these receive mine waste rock for storage and later leaching for further recovery of metals. The green color of the water in the tailings pond at image

In 1978, deforestation covered 4200 square km of the state, in 1988 about 30,000 square km and in 2003 about 67,000 square km. Image obtained by Terra satellite on 30 July 2000. The Amazon forest appears in green, the areas deforested in light colours. The state of Rondonia in western Brazil is one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon. In the past three decades, clearing and degradation of the state's original 208,000 square kilometers of forest (about 51.4 million acres, an area slightly smaller than the state of Kansas) has been rapid: 4,200 square kilometers cleared by 1978; 30,000 by 1988; and 53,300 by 1998. By 2003, an estimated 67,764 square kilometers of rainforest - - an area larger than the state of West Virginia - - had been cleared. Here is a satellite image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spec

The Aral Sea lies between Uzbekistan (to the south) and Kazakhstan (to the north). Once the fourth largest lake in the world, the Aral Sea is now less than half of its original size. The Aral Sea is a terminal, or endorheic, sea (meaning no water flows out of it). It is fed by the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya Rivers, but Soviet river diversions for irrigation made over 40 years ago have starved the Aral Sea of water. In 2001, the World Bank funded the construction of an 8 - mile dam to separate the North and South Aral, and thus save the smaller and less polluted North Aral Sea. The North Aral has been growing since completion of the Kok - Aral Dam in the summer of 2005. Repairs and updates

The mine, currently owned by the Rio Tinto Group, is the largest open-pit mine in California (covering approximately 54 km2) and is among the largest borate mines in the world. Borates, chemical compounds that include the element boron, are important both as providers of an essential plant micronutrient; for metallurgical applications; and as components of specialized types of glass, antirosive coatings, fire retardants, and detergents (among other uses). Borate minerals such as borax, kernite, and ulexite are found in deposits at the Rio Tinto borax mine. The Rio Tinto mine is one of the Earth's richest borate deposits; together with mines in Argentina, they produce almost 40 percent of the world's supply of in

Bikini Atoll seen by satellite - Bikini Atoll seen from space - View of Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, obtained by the Landsat-8 satellite on 19 August 2013. The crater leaves by the explosion of the Castle Bravo bomb, the most powerful H bomb ever tested by the United States, is visible at the top left of the atoll. This image was captured by the Operational Land Imager on the Landsat 8 satellite on August 19, 2013. Visible top left is the Castle Bravo crater, left behind by the nuclear explosion on March 1, 1954, which was 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in August 1945. The hole is 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) across and 80 meters (260 feet) deep.

Los Angeles - Perspective view of the Los Angeles area and the San Gabriel Mountains. View obtained by the Landsat-7 satellite on 4 May 2001 combined with a radar image obtained by the SRTM instrument aboard the space shuttle Endeavour on 11 February 2000. Most of Los Angeles is visible in this computer - generated north - northeast perspective viewed from above the Pacific Ocean. In the foreground the hilly Palos Verdes peninsula lies to the left of the harbor at Long Beach, and in the middle distance the various communities that comprise the greater Los Angeles area appear as shades of grey and white. In the distance the San Gabriel Mountains rise up to separate the basin from the Mojave Desert, which can be seen near the top of the image. This 3 - D perspective view was generated using topographic data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and an enhanced color Landsat 5satellite image mosaic. Topographic expression is exaggerated one and one - half times
