Meeting Of Waters
- This Envisat image features the confluence of the Amazon Basin's main ‘black’ and ‘white’ rivers – the Rio Negro and the Solimões respectively
– forming the Amazon River just below Manaus, Brazil.
Rio Negro (visible flowing east-southeast) is the largest tributary of the Amazon and the world’s largest black-water river. The term ‘black river’
describes the appearance of the coffee-coloured water, which results from dissolved decaying vegetable matter that gets carried along the river. (

- Food, fuel, and shelter: vegetation is one of the most important requirements for human populations around the world. Satellites monitor

global warming. (
