This amazing image reveals what our world looks like when it is stripped bare - shorn of all its plants, soils, water and man-made structures.

This, and other never-seen-before images of the Earth, were unveiled at One Geology - the world's biggest ever geological mapping project.

The project hopes to do for the ground beneath our feet what Google has done for the Earth's surface with its Google Maps, Earth and Street utilities.

But unlike the centralised information server that holds Google Maps, individual countries will be responsible for the 50 internet servers. The information will be continuously updated and improved on these servers.

How is it Earth if stripped bare?

Isn't the beauty of Earth the life (and the conflict) it supports?

Isn't that like saying, this is a flower without it petals, or a car without it's frame?

What purpose or beauty does this serve?

To me you're just stripping it's complexity for pretty patterns.
