EarthViewer is an app that allows you to slide the current date, and upon doing so, you are able to see the changes to the earth's surface at that time. Watch as the tectonic plates slide, and as factors such as the length of a day and the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere change.

In this app found within the ArcGIS app, you are able to look at global data recorded natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes. What is really interesting is that you can use your cursor to look at the data for each and every event. As an example, in the image to the left, the data for a specific earthquake is being displayed.
