Satellite images taken 19 years apart have revealed a massive crater created by the Bogoslof volcano in Alaska, that has taken out about a third of the island's landmass. The island has also added roughly 57,000 square meters of new land, thanks to huge amounts of lava and ash pouring from the active stratovolcano. The island has changed dramatically in just two decades. Points A-D are the same place in both photos. A is Castle Rock, B shows 1927 lava deposits, C shows 1992 lava and D is Fire Island. View is roughly North and the distance from A to C is around 820 metres (0.5 miles)

What Earth will look like in 250 million years: Simulations show new MEGACONTINENT called Amasia in unprecedented detail

North and South America will crunch together, with the Caribbean Sea and Arctic Ocean disappearing, while Asia will join the Americas, according to research by Yale University researchers and Japan's Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. This will happen because of the movement of the earth's tectonic plates - the enormous plates of the earth's crust that have drifted together and apart over hundreds and millions of years.
