| W)               | northeastern Brazil. The city lies along the      |
|                  | Parnaíba River (there bridged to Timon in         |
|                  | Maranhão state), 220 miles (354 km) upstream from |
|                  | the Atlantic port of Parnaíba. Founded in 1852 as |
|                  | the new capital of Piauí, it was originally named |
|                  | Therezina after the Brazilian empress Teresa      |
|                  | Cristina. Since then, it has become the chief     |
|                  | commercial centre of the middle Parnaíba River    |
|                  | valley and has textile plants, sugar refineries,  |

|                  | annual six-month drought, the Brazilian           |
|                  | government has dug wells and built dams to trap   |
|                  | water during the rainy months to keep the         |
|                  | waterways flowing during arid times. A highway    |
|                  | and a railroad lead to São Luís, 200 miles (320   |
|                  | km) northwest. Shallow-draft riverboats navigate  |
|                  | northward to Parnaíba, and the city has a         |

  STS078-728-025     Atchafalaya delta. This is a rapidly-growing delta.
                     The Atchafalaya now carries roughly 30% of the
                     sediment and waterflow of the Mississippi River.

                     Atchafalaya. Although details of the Atchafalaya are
                     hidden by cloud, the extent of erosion of the
                     Mississippi delta and barrier islands east of
                     Atchafalaya can be seen. This is due to reduced
                     sediment supply from the Mississippi Delta.

                     volcanic flows down the mountains can be seen. The

  STS078-755-039     Mt. Etna, CIR. The more recent lava flows, including
                     the 1993 flow down the east slope, are well defined
                     on CIR film when contrasted with the red vegetation
                     on the mountain's slopes.

  STS078-740-015     Mt. Etna, CVIS. Mt. Etna is one of Italy's
                     (Sicily's) most active volcanoes. It sports an
                     almost continual steam plume. The most recent phase
                     of significant activity in 1993 produced voluminous
                     flows down Etna's east slope.

| ST           | Hurricane Boris, a second hurricane which made        |
| S078-730-085 | landfall just days after Alma in the same region. The |

| ST           | Space shuttle imagery has shown us that Von Karmen    |
| S078-729-087 | Vortices are very common with several different small |
|              | island chains around the world. Von Karmen Vortices   |
| ST           | form as straight airflow is disturbed by land masses  |
| S078-735-008 | in it's way. Small islands are not enough of a land   |
|              | mass to completely stop airflow so air is forced      |
| S            | around the island, then causes small circular         |
| TS078-735-0A | vortices which propagate downwind from the islands.   |
|              | These four photos show how dramatic these vortices    |
| S            | look from space.                                      |

| ST           | The atmospheric limb gives us a breathtaking look at  |
| S078-760-026 | the dynamic layers of gases which make up our Earth's |
|              | atmosphere. As aerosols increase in the upper         |

|                  | Salton Sea, mainly the deposition of agricultural |
|                  | chemicals and rising salinity levels, are due to  |
|                  | the fact that the Salton Sea is a closed basin.   |
|                  | Water only leaves the sea by evaporation, leaving |
