It's important to demonstrate how Earth is changing.
The app set described here makes the following GIF anywhere on Earth. No coding required, just a browser and some mouse clicks. The goal is to make it easy for anyone to generate and share this kind of animation on social media.
1. Go to: EE-TS-GIF app
- draw a rectangle anywhere on Earth
- record app info: start & end years, GIF center lat & lon, and width (km).
- download resulting GIF
2. Go to: Snazzy-EE-TS-GIF app
- upload GIF from previous app
- enter info from previous app
- download resulting GIF
- upload GIF from previous app
- narrate it with a couple sentences
