The European Space Agency (ESA) published a photo of the volcano
Emi-Kusi, located on the territory of the Republic of Chad in Central
Africa. The volcano has long since died out and people do not know when
the last time there was an eruption.
In fact, the Emi-Kusi volcano and the area around it does not look
multicolored. With the help of photo processing, scientists show
different soils. For example, the green around the mouth of the volcano
is the old lava, and the red and yellow flowers show a sandstone.
Photo made satellite Sentinel-2B within the project Copernicus. Within
the framework of the mission, scientists are exploring the process of
changing the Earth, creating yield forecasts and helping to carry out
operations to eliminate the consequences of natural disasters. The
satellite Sentinel-2B was launched into orbit as recently as March 7,
2017.
