When Earth Eruptsシーズン 1

TV-G
This series documents how active volcanoes and moving tectonic plates are responsible for Earth's geography and disasters. Sometimes these eruptions form land masses, such as islands formed by ancient underwater volcanoes in the South Pacific or the Alps that were created when Africa slammed into Eurasia. But other times, these eruptions are devastating to people and nature. While the effects of the Mt. Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD are well known, volcanoes have other, less publicized, impacts on nature and people, such as the Himalayan sediment streaming South that is responsible for landslides that threatens to wipe out villages in Nepal.

  • Along the African Rift
    第1話
    Along the African RiftThe African Rift is a massive gash that runs through eastern Africa and was likely the birthplace of life on earth. We look at how the geology of these places shaped our past and how their location on a tectonic boundary threatens the future for thousands.
  • Asia
    第2話
    AsiaThe Himalayas are a major force in the lives of millions. Himalayan sediment streaming south is responsible for landslides that threaten to wipe out villages in Nepal. In Indonesia the sediment is recycled as volcanic ash plumes that menace and kill.
  • Pacific Rim
    第3話
    Pacific RimThe western Pacific Rim is among the most dangerous places on earth. In New Zealand residents live in fear of earthquakes causing total devastation. In Japan 128 million people prepare for the next inevitable disaster and look to technology to save them.
  • Americas
    第4話
    AmericasThe eastern Pacific Rim is volatile territory. Earthquakes have decimated Anchorage, Alaska and San Francisco, CA, and probably will again in the next 30 years. The Chilean coast has been rocked by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that killed thousands.
  • Europe
    第5話
    EuropeThe edges of the Eurasian plate are volatile places. Iceland rides a river of magma that rises into massive volcanic eruptions, killing thousands. Elsewhere, the Alps formed out of African rock when the African land mass slammed into Eurasia.
