Earth The Biography:
Highlights the major events which have shaped the
Earth's history and allowed life to flourish. Presented by Dr Iain Stewart,
each episode will reveal a different force critical to the development of
Earth including volcanoes, the ocean, the atmosphere and ice. The series
follows Dr Stewart's personal journey to some of the most remote places on
the planet, from abseiling down into a lava lake in Ethiopia to cave diving
in the underwater caverns left by the impact of the meteorite that wiped
out the dinosaurs. He will discover how volcanoes saved the planet, how a
rainstorm lasted for thousands of years, and how the Mediterranean Sea once
dried up. Each individual film highlights the delicate balance of life on
Earth, and how its incredible history has been the story of disaster and
recovery.
Episode 1: Volcanoes
Volcanoes are one of nature’s most awesome and destructive forces, but they
are also the life force and architect of our planet. They can raise up great
mountains and create new land, or they can level cities and destroy entire
civilizations. They provide a glimpse of the power of Earth’s internal heat
source, without which it would have become a dead planet millions of years
ago. In this episode, Iain takes us on a journey to some of the most dramatic
places on Earth, starting in Ethiopia
Episode 2: Atmosphere
The atmosphere is Earth’s protective layer, cloaking us in a warm, oxygen-rich
embrace and shielding us from the cold hostility of space. It acts as a natural
greenhouse, keeping the Earth 51 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would
otherwise be. Yet the atmosphere is also full of contradictions. It’s immensely
powerful but at the same time highly sensitive. It’s destructive, yet it
shelters us. It was created in part by the planet’s first organisms, and it
continues to be essential for life.
Episode 3: Ice
Our icy adventure begins with host Dr. Iain Stewart in the Alps, where he goes
down an ice crevasse to show viewers how snowfall develops into expansive
masses. Then, we see how ice can shape the earth's topography giving rise to
features like Yosemite National Park and Manhattan Island, in NY. Finally,
journey to Greenland and see how ice sheets and glaciers are melting at a
phenomenal rate that is likely to accelerate over the coming years, changing
the world as we know it.
Episode 4: Oceans
Earth’s oceans help make our planet different from every other planet in the
solar system. As far as we know, no other place is the right temp for liquid
water, the most essential ingredient for life to exist. The oceans are Earth’s
primary stabilizing force, and their immense power helps to shape the appearance
and behavior of the entire planet and everything living on it. And they are
also the planet's great unknown - their deepest points have been visited less
than the surface of the moon.
Episode 5: Rare Planet
It has taken 4.6 billion years for the Earth to evolve from a barren rock into the
world we know today. Explore the forces beyond our planet that have determined
Earth’s destiny -- forces of destruction and regeneration in the solar system
that created the planet and still protect it. And now the remarkable planet is
facing a new challenge: humankind. The question is, how will it survive?
