| **               | Aorounga, a multi-ringed impact crater, has a     |
| STS087-704-053** | diameter of 12.6 km and is less than 345 million  |
|                  | years old. The partially eroded crater is located |
|                  | to the southeast of Emi Koussi on the Tibesti     |
|                  | Massif in Chad. The impact nature of the crater   |
|                  | was confirmed in 1992 when a team of French       |
|                  | investigators identified shocked minerals at the  |
|                  | site. It has been proposed, although not          |
|                  | confirmed, that Aorounga (south) is one of a      |
|                  | chain of craters. Two craters to the northeast    |
|                  | (Aorounga central and Aorounga north) were        |
|                  | detected in radar images of the area taken by the |

|                  | Endeavour in April and October of 1994. The dark  |
|                  | streaks overlaying the crater are valleys carved  |
|                  | out by thousands of years of wind erosion which   |
|                  | have filled with windblown sands.                 |

| **               | Makran Ranges, S. Iran and Pakistan. These folded |
| STS087-702-016** | mountains continue to form today as the Arabian   |
|                  | tectonic plate drives northward into Eurasia.     |
| **               | Sands and silts that were originally deposited in |
| STS087-702-023** | deep marine water have been uplifted and deformed |
|                  | into the folds of the Makran. Individual rock     |
|                  | layers can be discerned in this fine detailed     |
|                  | view and traced around the noses of folds. The    |
|                  | rhythmically bedded coarser and finer grained     |
|                  | deposits, called turbidites, become progressively |
|                  | younger seaward---from about 60 million years old |
|                  | in the north (Eocene) to younger than 5 million   |
|                  | years (Pliocene) at the coast.                    |

|                  | rock layers can be discerned. In addition, great  |
|                  | scalloped successions of coalesced alluvial fans  |
|                  | can be seen along the mountain front, in places   |
|                  | burying folds in their own detritus.              |

| **               | Harboi Hills, Balochistan in south-central        |
| STS087-702-027** | Pakistan. Folds of these hills, bounding the      |
|                  | Indus river valley on the west, are more open and |
| **               | symmetrical than are those of the Makran region.  |
| STS080-733-027** | Fold shape and amplitude are suggestive of the    |
|                  | involvement of bedded salt or evaporites at       |
| **               | depth, as can be seen in the Zagros Ranges of     |
| STS080-722-009** | Iran, Sierra Madre Oriental of northern Mexico    |

| **               | Sierra Madre Oriental, NE Mexico. In this WSW     |
| STS087-706-005** | view of the northern Sierra Madre, three distinct |
|                  | trends of mountain ranges can be seen: The great  |
| **               | northward bulge of generally west-trending        |
| STS087-722-027** | ranges, uplifts bounded by northwesterly faults,  |
|                  | and a more distant series of north-trending       |
|                  | blocks. The northwesterly ranges and the bulge in |
|                  | the mountain front were formed about 60 million   |
|                  | years ago, at the same time as the Rocky          |
|                  | Mountains of the western U.S. and Canada. Beneath |
|                  | the limestone layers that are buckled up into the |
|                  | broad arc of folds are thick layers of rock salt  |
|                  | and other evaporite minerals, which behave        |
|                  | plastically when stress is applied. The bow of    |
|                  | the Sierra is a region where bedrock ridges have  |
|                  | ridden out over evaporites. The northerly blocks  |
|                  | reflect the effect of Rio Grande rift             |
|                  | faulting---this uncommon view allows us to        |
|                  | examine the interaction of the two generations    |
|                  | and styles of structures.                         |
|                  |                                                   |

|                  | to Gebel Abu Huswa, along the western margin of   |
|                  | the Sinai Peninsula. The dominant                 |
|                  | north-northwesterly faults related to opening of  |
|                  | the Gulf of Suez are clearly displayed, as are    |
|                  | other fault sets trending north and west, which   |
|                  | appear to be truncated by the NNW rift faults.    |

|                  | located on the west coast in the plains of the    |
|                  | central Baja. This lagoon and others like it      |
|                  | along the Baja coast are used for breeding        |
|                  | grounds for the Gray Whale.                       |

|                  | The gray whale occurs in two distinct             |
|                  | populations. One inhabits the Sea of Okhotsk in   |
|                  | summer, migrating south in winter to breed off    |
|                  | southern Korea. The other summers in the Bering   |
|                  | and Chukchi seas and travels south to winter      |
|                  | breeding grounds along the coast of Baja          |
|                  | California. The gray whale was hunted almost to   |
|                  | extinction by 1925 but was placed under complete  |
|                  | international protection and since the 1940s has  |
|                  | increased in numbers. The white grids seen in the |

|                  | Nicobar to the south. The peanut shaped island is |
|                  | Chunumia and is to the northwest of the larger    |
|                  | islands. Nancowry, Camorta, and Great Nicobar are |
|                  | hilly. The highest peak is Mount Thullier, rising |
|                  | to 2,106 feet (642 m) on Great Nicobar (just out  |
|                  | of the photo). The islands are densely forested   |
|                  | with coconut, betel nut, pandanus, mango,         |
|                  | margosa, and casuarina. The population consists   |
|                  | mostly of two ethnic groups, the Nicobarese and   |
|                  | the Shompens. Agriculture is the principal        |
|                  | occupation; crops include rice, corn (maize),     |
|                  | fruits, vegetables, coconuts, and betel nuts.     |
|                  | Copra making and oil pressing are the chief       |

|                  | created and maintained by an international        |
|                  | conservation group called Reefbase. The purpose   |
|                  | of the database is to have a central location for |
|                  | researchers to access many of the different data  |
|                  | sources available for reefs. It is the official   |
|                  | database of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring      |
|                  | Network, and directly addresses priority actions  |

|                  | in the southern Red Sea is claimed by both        |
|                  | Eritrea and Yemen. The four main islands of the   |
|                  | Hanish group extend north-south in a chain about  |
|                  | 40 miles (65 km) long and lie 20-45 miles (32-70  |
|                  | km) off the Yemeni coast. From the north they     |
|                  | are: Jabal Zuqar, the largest, which is           |
|                  | irregularly shaped and about 10 miles (16 km)     |
|                  | north-south and 8 miles (13 km) east-west at its  |
|                  | widest point; al-Hanish as-Saghir (Little         |
|                  | Hanish); al-Hanish al-Kabir (Great Hanish); and   |
|                  | Suyul Hanish. Interspersed among these islands,   |
|                  | and extending southwest to the coast of Eritrea,  |
|                  | are many small islets and rocks; the group is a   |
|                  | major navigational hazard of the southern Red     |
|                  | Sea.                                              |

|                  | The island group is volcanic in origin and has    |
|                  | rugged topography throughout. The island of Jabal |
|                  | Zuqar rises to 2,047 feet (624 m) above sea       |
|                  | level; this is the highest elevation on any of    |
|                  | the Red Sea\'s many islands. Although barren and  |
|                  | inhospitable to settlement, the islands have rich |
|                  | fishing grounds.                                  |

|                  | northwestern coast of Cape York Peninsula; it     |
|                  | lies on Albatross Bay at the estuaries of the     |
|                  | Hey, Embley, and Mission rivers, facing the Gulf  |
|                  | of Carpentaria. In 1802 the explorer Matthew      |
|                  | Flinders noted the red cliffs that extended for   |
|                  | 100 mi (160 km) along the coast. It was not until |
|                  | 1902 that these reddish deposits were identified  |
|                  | as bauxite, the ore of aluminum. When their       |
|                  | potential as one of the world\'s largest reserves |
|                  | (estimated at 3,000,000,000 tons) was recognized, |
|                  | exploitation began, and the town of Weipa was     |
|                  | built, beginning in 1956, to house the workers.   |
|                  | It was the first settlement established in the    |
|                  | area since a Presbyterian mission station had     |
|                  | been founded there in the 1890s. Almost           |
|                  | 10,500,000 tons of ore are taken annually from    |
|                  | the opencut mine, vividly portrayed in the photo, |
|                  | and conveyed to ships in the bay; about one-half  |
|                  | goes to aluminum refineries at Gladstone          |
|                  | (Queensland), and the rest is exported to Japan,  |
|                  | Europe and North America. The town, with air      |
|                  | connections to Cairns, 400 mi southeast, derives  |
|                  | its name from an Aboriginal term meaning          |
