Geologic Journey II
GEOLOGIC JOURNEY II will change the way your students look at the world. In each episode, we dive straight into the Earth's mysterious geologic processes - and explore both science and legend as we seek to understand and explain the geologic forces that shape our world, and our lives. With Dr. Nick Eyles of the University of Toronto Scarborough as our guide, this five-part documentary series reveals the Earth's magnificent power and its breathtaking beauty.
GEOLOGIC JOURNEY II takes us to some of our planet's most dangerous and dynamic places, and helps explain how they got that way. From some of the highest mountaintops to the lowest salt plains, and from the center of violent volcanoes to the deep trenches beneath the ocean floor, GEOLOGIC JOURNEY II travels with some of the world's most outstanding geologists as they decipher the mysteries of the earth's evolution.
Combining stunning HD pictures and beautiful aerial photography, this series captures a world being torn apart by the very plates that connect it.
The Geologic Journey II series includes the following titles:
Examines the Earth's surface under pressure, from Iceland to the Alps, landscapes that inspired scientists to invent the study of geology.
Examines the East African Rift, Ethiopia's Afar Triangle, the Nile Valley and the Dead Sea Rift, places where the Earth's crust is ripping apart as molten rock pushes upwards.
From the glaciers of Alaska to the Andes of Chile, the relentless subterranean forces that formed the eastern Pacific Rim have convulsed our cities and overshadow our future.
Examines the western Pacific Rim, home to 50% of the world's active volcanoes, and 90% of its earthquakes.
Examines the collision zone in Asia--from Indonesia's volcanoes at one end to the Himalayas at the other--which is in the process of forming the earth's next supercontinent.
