Satellite photograph of Scablands

Subject

Geology -- Washington (State), Eastern.

Description

This satellite photograph from 1973 shows the braided pathways of the Channeled Scablands. While aerial photography helped illustrate Bretz's theory that a giant flood formed the Scablands, satellite images such as this provided a broader overhead perspective to better illustrate Bretz's evidence.
