Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 Satellite on 16 October 2020, shows the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The Anti-Atlas Mountains formed as a result of the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates about 80 million years ago. This collision destroyed the Tethys Ocean. The limestone, sandstone, claystone and gypsum layers that formed the ocean bed were folded and crumpled to create the Anti-Atlas Mountains. In this false colour image, several bands of the multispectral imager onboard the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite (visible and infrared bands) are combined to highlight the different rock types and illustrate the complex folding. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, which is composed of two twin satellites, Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B, provides multispectral imagery with 13 different spectral bands at a maximum spatial resolution of 10m. These multispectral data allow High Resolution mapping of land changes and geological features.
