The Earth's wind, water and vegetation will eventually erase most craters. Sol: The earth’s plate responsible for causing earthquakes is the crust of the changing earth. The catalyst was the The Great Rift Valley in East Africa has been on the move for millions of years. And it's threatening the region's infrastructure like a geologic poltergeist.These mysterious mud bubbles have created an approximately 24,000-square-foot (2,230 square meters) basin that's about 18 feet deep and 75 feet wide (5 by 23 m). Here are 10 ways Earth changed these past 12 months.Kilauea's stunning 2018 eruption was its largest in at least 200 years, according to a 2018 report in New Zealand's South Island is now more than a foot closer to its North Island, researchers learned in 2018. But the speed at which people are changing Earth’s atmosphere today will likely mean that even those foraminifera living near the ocean surface will be impacted. Bedrock under Antarctica is also rising — about 1.6 inches (41 millimeters) annually, researchers learned in 2018. The gaping, 50-foot-long (15 meters, and still growing) hole appeared on March 19, following a period of heavy rains and seismic activity. At 115 square miles (300 square kilometers), the iceberg is even larger than another iceberg that broke off It's unclear why this is happening, but climate change may be a factor, said Stef Lhermitte, an assistant professor in the Department of Geoscience and Remote Sensing at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
It was stagnant for many years, but now there's no stopping it.

How Earth Changed in 2018 (Image credit: Shutterstock) Earth is always changing, and 2018 — a year filled with hurricanes, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes — was no exception.
[California had more than its fair share of devastating wildfires this year.
This distinct green/brown contrast took place over just a few months, and was caused by summer heat and growing populations of algae and bacteria:Much of that forest was cleared to make way for farming land - The effects of urbanisation can also be seen in these In the space of those 25 years, the population grew from 9.4 million to 25 million people, and Such rapid population rise brings with it a number of problems besides a lack of space.
Future US, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 15th Floor, Global temperature has increased by 7 to 9°F (4 to 5°C) since the end of the last ice age. [In October, an iceberg about five times the size of Manhattan broke off of Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica, merely a month after a crack appeared. Scientists are still trying to figure it out.

To study (By the way, these are names for Hurricanes Michael and Florence both dumped loads of water on the American Southeast.
