Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: On November 1, 2015, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite flew over Northern Africa and captured this true-color image of a sunny fall day.
The most prominent feature of this image in the expanse of very arid, tan-colored deserts that make up the interior of Libya. Cloud hang over the Gulf of Sidra, with a few tufts of cloud hanging over the coastal edge of the country. A small splash of green, representing vegetation, can be seen on the Mediterranean coast. Only about 1% of Libya�s lands are arable, with only 0.2% used as permanent cropland. An additional 7.6% is suitable for permanent pastureland, but the majority of the land is desert, with vast sand seas. The primary natural hazards of the region are dust storms and sand storms. |
