Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, 2 of the Canary Islands depending on the North Atlantic Ocean, are included in this false-color satellite image caught by the Copernicus Sentinel -2 objective.
The Canary Islands are a group of ocean island volcanoes that were produced countless years back by volcanic activity. The Spanish area and island chain lies around 100 km (60 miles) off the north coast of Africa and 1000 km (600 miles) from the IberianPeninsula The 8 primary islands are (in order of biggest to tiniest in location) Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and LaGraciosa However, the island chain likewise consists of numerous smaller sized islands and islets.
Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands, shows up in the top-right of the image above. With a population of over 150,000 residents, it is the 3rd most populated Canary Island, after Tenerife and GranCanaria It covers a location of 845 sq km (326 sq miles), making it the fourth-largest of the islands in the island chain.
Because of a long history of eruptions, Lanzarote is typically described as the ‘Island of the 1000 volcanoes’, yet it is really the least mountainous CanarianIsland The greatest mountain is the volcano Pe ñas del Chache near Har Ãa in the northern part of the island, which is 670 m (2,200 feet) above water level. The Timanfaya National Park can be seen in the southwest part of the island and is completely comprised of volcanic soil.
Fuerteventura Island, the 2nd biggest of the Canaries, lies southwest of Lanzarote, throughout the BocainaStrait Its overall location is 1731 sq km (668 sq miles) and the island is around 110 km (68 miles) long and no greater than 30 km (19 miles) broad. Fuerteventura is the earliest island in the Canary Archipelago, having actually increased in between 12 and 20 million years ago owing mainly to volcanic activity.
The island is relatively flat and has a desert landscape of sand and stones in addition to long beaches. The center of the island is comprised of a large, lengthened valley and, from north to south, is dissected by a series of extinct, worn down volcanoes. The west coast is dotted with rugged cliffs and little bays.
To the northeast of Fuerteventura, separated by the 15 m (50 feet) deep strait El RÃo, lies the island of Isla deLobos The just 6 sq km (2.3 sq mile) island is house to a 127 m (417 feet) high extinct volcano.
This image, likewise included on the Earth from Space video program (ingrained above), was caught on September 24, 2021, by Copernicus Sentinel -2– a two-satellite objective to provide the protection and information shipment required for Europe’s Copernicus program. The image was processed by picking spectral bands that can be utilized for categorizing geological functions.
