Voyage of the Continents: Series 1

Nature Documentary hosted by Doug Paulson, published by Arte in 2012 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Over the many billions of years of Earth's history, our planet has never stopped changing. Massive tectonic forces have sculpted and resculpted our world in a never-ending journey.
Do you know that Scandinavia was once in the southern hemisphere? And that in the Ardennes we can find coral reefs like in the Bahamas? Or that the largest ocean in the world, the Pacific is endangered?
Since its formation 4.6 billion years ago, our Earth has been subjected to forces of incredible power. Around a still hot core, the earth's crust, driven by mantle convection movements, is in perpetual evolution, tirelessly redrawing the map of the continents and oceans.
As landmasses assemble and separate, they fuel volcanoes and spark earthquakes, building mountains and tearing valleys. They come together or separate on average by a few millimeters or centimeters per year, sometimes more. On the scale of geological time, they shape the reliefs and deep architecture of the continents. We see the Earth, eons in the making, through the eyes of geologists and other scientists.
The history of these continents is part of a "tectonic waltz" of land and sea, a concept as important for the history of the Earth as Darwin's theory of species for the evolution of Man. Tectonics have created life- and destroyed it as well. Huge volcanoes and devastating earthquakes continue to dominate human history. This is a story of high drama and intense beauty, the interaction of geology and life. A true Voyage of the Continents.

Directed by Christopher Hooke & Yanick Rose; A French-Canada Co-Production by La Compagnie des Taxi-Brousse / Ideacom International and ARTE France in participation with CNC, Discovery World HD, TFO, RTBF and CNRS Images

3)  Asia: Rising Mountains and Sinking Countries
Asia is a closely watched continent. Teams of scientists keep a constant eye on it.
Asia is a continent on high alert. The Indian sub-continent that smashed into the mainland eons ago is still pushing the Himalayas to ever greater heights. The tectonic activity in the south of the continent extends as far as Nepal and the Tibetan plain. Off the east coast, Japan is in the grip of tectonic forces that shake its islands with devastating force while Indonesia is ravaged by volcanoes. China is also affected and, like Japan, is exposed to daily earthquakes. The volcanism of the entire region, in Japan and in Indonesia, is both a danger and a resource, and many risk their lives to exploit it. These tremendous phenomena are the fruits of the ceaseless Voyage of the Continents. In this episode we chart the present and look into the future of the planet's most explosive continent.
