 Google Earth time-lapse feature winds clock back 37 years...

Google Earth has launched a time-lapse feature that lets users wind back the clock and see how the world has changed over several decades.

This is the new feature that took data from more than 24 million pictures clicked by satellites since 1984, i.e., for 37 years to let people scroll down through time.

It allows people to see, the deforestation in amazon, melting of huge glaciers in this time interval.

The major sudden change in the environment is from 3 decades, where a rapid globalization takes place, a rapid boost in technology and come up with a huge environmental change.

Google tries to raise awareness about climate change on earth and its causes so that people can understand how their activities destroying the environment. People can create a better way of living so that Earth environment can be human friendly.

Google claims that, this can’t be possible if they can’t get the videos and images from the concern authorities such as NASA for analyzing.

Users can access the tool in a web browser, and the feature comes with some pre-packaged virtual tours of an Alaskan glacier melting over the years or forest protection efforts in Brazil.

Google used the similar technology in google maps for finding the best routes, but is more focused on geology and exploration.


Google uses more advance software to analyze its data and it take huge amount of power, Google claims that its all centers are carbon neutral, though it does this through the practice of offsetting - paying for environmental projects to "balance" its use of energy.
