Description
EARTH USA/Mexico -- Jul 2009 -- At the northern end of the Chihuahuan Desert, which stretches from the southwestern United States into northern Mexico, sits a field of gleaming white sands that form otherworldly dunes. The sands sprawl over some 715 square kilometers (275 miles) of south-central New Mexico. About 40 percent of the area falls within the White Sands National Monument, managed by the US National Park Service. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) onboard NASA?s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite captured this photo-like image of part of the White Sands National Monument. This image shows part of the southeastern portion of the park. The dunes shown in this image are advancing toward the northeast, and the brilliant white sands contrast with darker soils. The sands of White Sands National Monument are formed from gypsum, a soft mineral often left behind when water bodies evaporate. Waters flowing into the basin holding White Sands National Monument, however, found no outlet and evaporated. Over many years, gypsum crystals deposited in this basin were subjected to freezing, thawing, and wind, and broke down into tiny grains. The massive collection of gypsum dunes in New Mexico results from changes in ancient landscapes that started before the time of the dinosaurs. Some 250 million years ago, what is now New Mexico was covered by a shallow sea, but the sea?s level eventually fell as the area began to dry. Thick layers of gypsum settled onto the old sea floor. About 70 million years
