Question
1. The U.S. Mexico border crosses this image. Draw a line along it directly onto the picture. b) why is this border so defined that it is visible from space? 
True story: Construction of Parker Dam on the California-Arizona border was Shltan Sea postponed in 1935, when Arizona threatened military action against California, which it greatly distrusted. California's massive withdrawals of Colorado River water greatly reduce the quantity and quality of river water that makes it to the U.S.- Mexico border. This satellite radar image of the Imperial Valley shows the effects of irrigating the desert-the dark patch (red in the image) on the south end of the Salton Sea indicates vegetation. Darker, thicker red color indicates healthier, denser vegetation. 1. The U.S.-Mexico border crosses this image. Draw a line along it directly onto the picture. 2. Why is this border so defined that it is visible from space? (Hint: darker red indicates more vegetation and plants need water).
