Most of the landscape in the image is light brown, indicating a lack of forest cover. In contrast, greener areas farther west (along the left third of the image) retain more of the original forest of Madagascar’s central highlands.

Hills separate the fault from the complex and a black area in the middle of it is labeled the burned area.
