Anti-Atlas mountains
Anti-Atlas mountains, Morocco, infrared satellite image. North is at top. This is at the western end of the Anti-Atlas Mountain Range in Morocco. This image shows an area that is 28.7 x 29.4 kilometres in size. Infrared viewing reveals the geology of the area. Limestone, sandstone and gypsum (yellow, orange, green) are sedimentary rocks that were deposited under an ancient ocean. Granite rocks (dark blue/green) are also seen. The collision of Africa and Eurasia (80 million years ago) crumpled and raised the seabed into mountains. Photographed on 13 June 2001 by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) sensor, carried on board NASAs Terra satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Anti-Atlas mountains in Morocco, as seen through an infrared satellite image. The image captures a vast area spanning 28.7 x 29.4 kilometres, with the north positioned at the top. Through infrared viewing, we gain a unique insight into the geology of this region. The sedimentary rocks that dominate the landscape are vividly displayed in shades of yellow, orange, and green, representing limestone, sandstone, and gypsum respectively. These rocks were once deposited under an ancient ocean that covered this landmass. Intriguingly contrasting with these sedimentary formations are granite rocks depicted in dark blue and green hues. These granite outcrops serve as evidence for the colossal tectonic forces that shaped this terrain around 80 million years ago when Africa collided with Eurasia. This monumental collision crumpled and uplifted what was once seabed into awe-inspiring mountains. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) sensor aboard NASA's Terra satellite captured this mesmerizing scene on June 13th, 2001. It is a testament to humanity's ability to explore our planet from space and unravel its geological wonders. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of Earth's intricate history while showcasing Morocco's natural splendor—an amalgamation of vibrant colors against rugged mountainous landscapes—making it truly worthy of admiration by all who appreciate our planet's extraordinary beauty.
