This formation in Morocco was formed by uplifted sandstone and limestone. It shows the Atlas mountains, one of the five mountain ranges located in Morocco. The Atlas mountains are rich in minerals, but also in ores.
Coal, salt, mercury, and phosphate can all be found here and are mined for the precious materials.
The picture above shows the Anti-Atlas mountains. These are very similar to the Atlas mountains, but located much farther south east. They are also composed of mainly sandstone and are at a lower elevation than the Atlas mountains.
In this last picture, the Moyen Mountains can be seen. Overall, they are a smaller mountain range, but are steeper in some places rather than the Atlas mountains.
