The world looks considerably different today than it did 10 years ago.

Over the past decade, around 7 million acres of land has been destroyed annually by wildfires. A spate of devastating hurricanes in 2017 toppled buildings and flooded roads in many coastal areas. And the war against ISIS flattened entire cities in the Middle East.

At the same time, new tech campuses and military bases have sprouted up across the Earth's surface.

These transformations were captured by satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies, which monitored the view from space between 2010 and 2019. Their striking before-and-after photos depict the most significant global events of the past decade.

Take a look.
