A lot can change in a short amount of time, especially after a natural disaster has occurred. Two pictures before and after an event happens can really tell a story and show how fast the changes can happen over a period of time. Two pictures can also show us how human beings have impacted the way that a city or a terrain looks. We have collected a bunch of pictures that will show you how the world has changed over the years.
