Summary
[edit]DescriptionMusandam Peninsula, Oman.jpg |
English: Musandam’s largest city, Al Khasab, is jewel-like in the brilliant contrast between its vivid shades of blue, white, and green and the more subtle rainbow tones of the surrounding rock in this false-colour image. The term Khasab refers to the fertility of the soil. The land around the city clearly sustains agriculture as evidenced by the bright green plant-covered land. Spots of green highlight other settlements along the coast. Man-made surfaces are pale blue and white. Fishing, agriculture, and ship building are the primary industries in Musandam, reports the government of Oman, and the statement is supported by the coastal locations of the settlements and the green surrounding them in this image.Apart from Al Khasab and other settlements, the rocky peninsula is barren. The limestone mountains are coloured yellow, brown, and red by traces of iron or grey by magnesium. |
