Ox Bow Lake Formation, As Seen By the Google Earth Time Machine 50
djl4570 writes with a link to this "excellent study in the gradual change of geographic features as a river meander becomes an ox bow lake when the river current cuts through the meander. The same Google Earth feature can be used to view changes in urban and suburban geography. The historical data is a work in progress. The region I looked at only has images going back to 1993. Other regions will have a different mix and depth of data."

You can view that in the cinema right now.

Full disclosure: I was in the movie
In the Science museum in Paris they have a wall with a crack that was closed when the museum was opened. They move the walls apart over the years by the same distance that Europe and America drift apart. There was quite a wide crack when I was there many years ago. By now you must be able to walk through it quite easily.
