Google Earth acquired itself a new dimension: Depth




While at graduation we were amazed by www.google.com. Type any word, and it would throw relevant pages. I was amazed at the way Google popularized it Gmail. Google amazes again with ocean in Google Earth. You could now look under water and learn in 3D.

Approximately 70% of the world’s surface is covered by water and contains nearly 80% of all life, yet less than 5% of it has actually been explored. Google Earth now gives way to new explorations.

You could visit anything from underwater Volcanoes, Shipwreck, watch running video of marine life et al. Just name it and it will be on your screen.

The system has been developed in collaboration with oceanographer Sylvia Earle and an advisory council of more than 25 ocean advocates and scientists

Whats more at Google Earth?

• Historical city maps, accessed through a clock icon that lets you turn back time on screen !
• Google Mars 3D, a project developed with NASA's help, through which users can see high resolution 3D imagery of Mars' topography

So what’s next Google?
