6Foot2 Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/49000/49687/Ireland_amo_2010284_lrg.jpg It is easy to see from this true-color image why Ireland is called the Emerald Isle. Intense green vegetation, primarily grassland, covers most of the country except for the exposed rock on mountaintops. Ireland owes its greenness to moderate temperatures and moist air. The Atlantic Ocean, particularly the warm currents in the North Atlantic Drift, gives the country a more temperate climate than most others at the same latitude... Source: Ireland : Image of the Day
