Wadi Branches, Jordan
Credit: KING
The Terra satellite captured this image of wadis in southeastern Jordan in 2001. The Arabic word wadi means a gulley or riverbed that is usually dry except after drenching, seasonal rains. In this image, meandering wadis have combined to form dense, branching networks across the stark, arid landscape.
