Five days ago, in the northeastern port city of Dalian, China, two oil pipelines exploded, sending flames hundreds of feet into the air and burning for over 15 hours, destroying several structures - the cause of the explosion is under investigation. The damaged pipes released thousands of gallons of oil, which flowed into the nearby harbor and the Yellow Sea. The total amount of oil spilled is still not clear, though China Central Television earlier reported an estimate of 1,500 (400,000 gallons), as compared to the estimated 94 - 184 million gallons in the BP oil spill off the Louisiana coast. The oil slick has now grown to at least 430 square kilometers (165 sq mi), forcing beaches and port facilities to close while government workers and local fishermen work to contain and clean up the spill.

In 2010, a sequence of volcanic eruption started, and resulted in an estimated 250 million cubic metres (330,000,000 cu yd) of ejected tephra. The ash plum rose to a height of approximately 9 kilometres (30,000 ft). The volcano erupted in Iceland disturbed the whole world.  The Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted till a very longer period. The volcano erupted for the second time in less than a month. Which affects the earth by melting ice, shooting large amount of smoke and steam into the air. Due to the volcanic ash, many flights were cancled and disturbed the air traffic.Millions of  passangers were not able to transport and to reach home because all Asia - Europe flights were stopped.

The steam exploded from the glacier topped iceland volcano. The lightning photographs are taken about 30 kilometers away from the volcanic lightining storm. The volcanic eruption created around 2000 foot long fissure.

A very giant sinkhole swallowed an entire intersection in the Guatemala city. It caused due to the heavy rain downpour followed by a storm Agatha. The tropical storm Agatha made it's way on the Guatemala city by opening a hole that really looks like a "Gateway to the Hell" in the center of the city.

This massive sinkhole appears to be about of 60feet [18 meters] wide and about 300 feet[100 meters] deep. [The hight of statue of liberty without the stake part is around 151feet, so you can think now..] The 100 feet deep sinkhole swallowed up a big three story building.

We all are using Google maps and Google earth very often, and yeah we are very impressed by these maps. [i'm also] But the main thing that we always think about is the zooming power. The Google maps provides the zooming till the around 500ft. It can be change with some different locations some times but mainly it let you to get nearer to the surface of around 500ft.

But now, Microsoft is there in the game with Google maps with a name "Bing". It is a new search engine by microsoft and also it provides the sattelite images which is known as the Bing maps.

Today i'm gonna show you the thing is the difference between the Google maps and the Bing maps. As Bing is new in this game, it provides more higher resolution images of earth at some places.

Here i have shown the same place with Google maps and the Bing maps. You can see the difference by yourself with the resolution. The lower most  Images are of Google maps. The place i have shown here is of the "Davis-Monthan Air Force Base"

Take a look at the image resolution with both the map providers and really you will get amazed..

The Giant Mysterious Circle is known as the Richat Structure. A prominent circular feature of Mauriania in the Sahara desert near the Ouadane.

From the space this depression in the sahara desert really dose looks like human eye. This phenomenon is actually a Richet Structure formed due to the dome shaped symmetrical uplifting of the underlying geology, and now made visible by the millennia of erosion.

On April 20,2010 an explosion occured on the semi-submersible offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico.On April 24, it was found that the wellhead was damaged and was leaking oil into the Gulf. The pollution from the Deepwater Horizon, oil spill is very rapidly spreading from the Gulf of Mexico to the neighbouring shorelines of the southeastern United States.

 Around 2-4 days after the explosion, the rig sank to the ocean floor, and a pipe connected to the well on the sea floor broke. Oil began leaking from the Pipe.

It is estimated that around 6 million gallon of oil have leaked into the Gulf of Mexico within a month from the explosion in the Deepwater Horizon. This spreading of oil is a very serious treat to the Wildlife, affecting as many as 400 speacies along the coastal areas of Lousiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

It is said by the scientists that, the oil has reached currents that could carry the pollution to Florida and also to the east coast. Beside this due to the underwater oil plumes, There may be and amount of oil beneath the oceans surface, of the same amound we can see the the top layer of the Gulf.

Here are some pictures form Google and NASA of the spill on periodically taken.
The lower two images were captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite. The fist shows a wider shot of the oil slick spreading on the Louisiana coast, while the other one shows a very closer look.
