Investigate
with HISTORYTM the origins of some of the most well-known locations and
geological phenomena in the world. From the Great Lakes to Iceland, the

to reveal the geological processes that have shaped our planet.
Spectacular on-location shooting, evidence from geologists in the
field, and clear, dramatic graphics combine in this stunning 13-part
series to roll back the millennia and show how the immensely powerful,
and at times violent, forces of geology have literally shaped the world
we live in. With rocks as their clues and volcanoes, ice sheets and
colliding continents as their suspects, scientists launch a forensic
investigation that will help viewers visualize how the earth has
evolved and formed over millions of years. Locations covered in How the
Earth Was Made include Hawaii a remote island chain brought to being by
the movement of super heated magma deep within the earth, to the
Marianas Trench, a spot in the sea deeper than Mount Everest is high,
where the ocean floor disappears into the centre of the earth. |
