Rise of the Continents
Ep1 - Africa Africa is the cradle of humanity, it is land born from violent, cataclysmic events. Ep2 - Eurasia Europe and Asia; geologically they are part of the same vast landmass, Eurasia. Shaped by a series of collisions, mountain ranges have been pushed up, valleys created and a once great ocean has come and gone. Ep3 - The Americas From the bedrock the Empire State Building is built on, to the Spanish empires in South America, the two land masses of North and South America are linked by geology and history. Ep4 - Australia Australia was once part of a super-continent and its deserts were covered in forests. Once joined to Antarctica, it split off and moved northwards into warmer climes, whilst Antarctica became an icy wasteland.

Reviews
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
This fine series is a fascinating look into the shaping and adaptation of our world...all of it! Our guide is a very coherent Geologist, who tells the stories of the history and Future of the planet. He does so in a captivating, logical and brilliant manner, highlighted by a pleasant Scottish burr.So much more than simply Geology is explained. Rather flora and fauna and the effects that earth-events had on them is made clear.This is a treat for all the senses!
