Circulating water continues to divide the coast, after a huge wall of water struck the coast.
2. Alluvial fan, Xinjiang province, China
Photo taken on May 2, 2002, shows a debris cone area of 3469.58 km2, which formed the southern border of Taklimakan Desert in China. It generates a stream of water, which forms canyons. Ultimately canyons closed triangle formed precipitate and the active and idle channels. (Blue left currently active).
3. The retreating glaciers in the Bhutan Himalayas
Beautiful, but a clear sign that glaciers are slowly melting due to global warming. It is easy to see the end of most glacial valleys, turning the water to form a lake. This trend has been seen only in the last few decades.
4. Hurricane "Isabel", 2003
This terrible picture "Isabel" was taken to the ISS in 2003. and illustrates the immense size of the hurricane's eye. This hurricane was the deadliest for 2003 - the wind speed reached 165 miles per hour.
5. The east coast of Greenland, 21 August 2003
Recursive coastline of Greenland and its many fjords. White spots on the water - ice is derived from a deep fjords and rising like a bubble to the surface, covering most of the islands.
