A cutaway view of the planet depicts its layers-including its crust, hot mantle, and superheated core-and leads to an outline of plate tectonic theory. The Himalayas, the Matterhorn, and the Hawaiian Islands are analyzed as examples of tectonic and volcanic activity, while the core's...

Summary: Beautiful and mysterious, powerful and violent, oceans define our blue planet. How did they come to be, and how long will they exist? Beginning with the primordial weather that first formed the seas, this episode from the Amazing Planet series tells the geological story of Earth's ocean realm as it travels from coral reef shallows to the depths of the Mariana Trench some 36,000 feet beneath the...

Summary: The Earth is like a living, breathing organism. From its molten core to the upper reaches of the atmosphere, nothing is still. How was the planet formed, and what are the forces that continue to sculpt it? This program uses animated topographical maps, a broken pane of glass, a fortune in diamonds, a floor-sanding machine, stalactites, flowing glaciers, a merry-go-round, a greenhouse, and more...

Summary: The demise of the dinosaurs remains a mystery. One theory is that a violent series of volcanic eruptions led to periodic mass extinctions of animal life throughout the Cretaceous period. Viewers follow scientists as they trace the evidence deep into the earth's core of molten metal and learn why these deadly eruptions were so vital to the progress of evolution.

Summary: Studies of our planet's crust, or lithosphere, suggest that it's not a single solid layer at all. This video illustrates the process of scientific inquiry by studying the evolution of our understanding of plate tectonics, the dynamics of those ever-shifting slabs of earth we call solid ground. Beginning with Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift, the program discusses major and minor...

Summary: The map of the Earth is a flat picture of the Earth's surface; this BBC Horizon program presents the story of how Harold Wellman changed that picture. Hired by the New Zealand Geological Survey to map the underlying bedrock of the Southern Alps region, he noticed that there were invariably only two kinds of rock, granite and schist. His search for the boundary between the two led to the...
