S01E02: Shaping the Planet
Compelling special effects and advanced animation techniques take you inside tectonic events. Earthquakes rumble, volcanoes explode and land is stretched pushing up mountains and creating new oceans. Travel around the world with geoscientists who use new high-tech tools to study why the ground constantly shifts under our feet.
Overview
Explosive volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods and even human beings contribute to the constant changes on the Earth's surface. Uncover the deep mysteries of our planet with top geologists in Faces Of Earth. Using state-of-the-art computer animation and stunning photography, these four in-depth, compelling programs explore how these forces shape the Earth and how, in turn, the Earth has shaped human evolution.
