How the video was made
The images in the video published by Google are really impressive and the best part is that they are true. In this case, it is an interactive 4D experience that scientists and filmmakers built with the help of images from satellites orbiting the Earth.
According to the description of the video, the creators used more than 24 million different images of these satellites. They correspond to the last 37 years, that is, from 1984 to 2022. In this way, we can see the great changes that have taken place on our Planet in all their proportions. This is because, most of the time, we are unable to visualize the dimension that these transformations assume within terrestrial space.
In addition, it is possible to make a relationship about how politics and society have also changed and how much this impacts on geography. After all, the development of urban centers and agriculture are reflections of human interests.
The main changes
The video walks through different corners of Planet Earth and the most different types of changes that have impacted space. For example, we can notice the growth of the city of Las Vegas, in the United States, within the urban aspect.
On the other hand, it is also possible to recognize how much nature has changed, as with the flourishing in the Al Jowf desert, in Saudi Arabia, due to agriculture. In addition to the development of nuclei that previously did not attract much attention, such as the one in Kuwait City.
Indeed, significant changes can be observed in Brazil, especially with regard to the Amazon. Note how, although there are many transformations in the largest Tropical Forest in the world, some regions, such as the state of Rondônia, have managed to preserve nature.
