[edit] Summary
| Description |
Landsat 7 imagery of w:Death Valley, California, USA. Green indicates vegetation, which increases with altitude. The varying shades of brown, beige, and rust indicate bare ground; the different colors result from varying mineral compositions in the rocks and dirt. Although they may appear to be pools of water, the bright blue-green patches in the scene are actually salt pans that hold only a little moisture. |
