A doomed love triangle between intrepid French scientists Katia and Maurice Krafft, and their beloved volcanoes.
This extraordinary series is a sweeping account of the rise of Earth’s continents. They are the product of a grand waltz of plate tectonics and the continual evolution of Earth’s crust. As landmasses assemble and separate, they fuel volcanoes and spark earthquakes, building mountains and tearing valleys. We see the Earth, eons in the making, through the eyes of geologists and other scientists.
What will Earth look like in 250 million years? With a team of scientists, National Geographic investigates the dynamic process of Colliding Continents, by examining the forces deep below the Earth's surface that are constantly reshaping our world. These powerful forces rip vast land masses apart and send them smashing into one another - causing natural disasters, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, and creating awe-inspiring landscapes, like mountains and canyons.
