Using some of the basic structural concepts and tectonic regimes you are familiar with, choose at least 4 images within the EarthKAM database and describe them as best as you can. Use as much detail and description as possible, taking into account directions of compression, extension, regional plate motion, ridges, valleys, volcanoes, faults, etc. Make sure you indicate the catalog number of the images you choose. 

Transcription Notes:
On top there are two pictures on the left and right. Left Picture: Layers of the land and the surface, with a stream in a lower elevation and the land to the sides of it moving farther apart. Right Picture: The countries of Egypt, Sinai, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea in a black and white satellite image.
