.In this June 26, 2023, picture derived from the International Space Station, sunshine shines off the soft waters of the Alabama Stream in a phenomenon known as sunglint. When capturing on film Earth, astronauts often capitalize on sunglint's propensity to increase the contrast between water surfaces and also concerning land surfaces.In the 1960s, the Alabama Waterway was actually slowed, producing Dannelly Reservoir (the sizable polishing location at facility left). Construction of the dam also reared water table upriver. This caused flooding at numerous aspects along the river. These flooded zones are typical of flood plains-- the poor, standard places instantly next to bigger rivers. In this photo, disaster area look like rough, intense shapes expanding far from the waterway, like at Gee's Bend (center base).Text Credit Rating: Justin Wilkinson.Image Credit Scores: NASA/Woody Hoburg.
