STS092-703-83 The Central Valley of California, Sierra Nevada, and western Basin and Range are major physiographic provinces portrayed in this photo. The San Andreas fault system is at left; Edwards AFB, in the Mojave desert, is near center.

STS092-719-35 Rocky Mountains, synoptic view.

STS092-708-30 Mono Lake, California.

STS092-722-68 Space Station over Richat structure, Mauritania.

STS092-707-56 Megagrooves: dominant northeasterly winds, carrying suspended sand, have scoured grooves more than 10 m deep into the bedrock of the Tibesti Massif, central Sahara desert.

STS092-704-55 Western Sahara potash conveyor, with associated wind streaks.

STS092-709-25 Bends of the Nile River, central Sudan; wind streaks indicate dominant (northerly) wind direction.

STS092-714-15 Longitudinal dunes (center) in northwestern Saudi Arabia indicate the dominant northwesterly wind direction; star dunes at lower right reflect interaction of the northwesterly winds and winds deflected by the bedrock uplands. Agricultural fields irrigated by center-pivot systems lie northwest of the dune fields.
