第一季简介

北美洲五大湖 (1 of 5)

Geologic Journey: The Great Lakes tells the storyof the dramatic changes in the geologic history and landscape of this region, which has only recently taken the form of the five, great, interconnected lakes. In this episode audiences are shown the roots of a long vanished mountain range that once rivalled the Himalayas, explore the remains of a tropical salt-water sea, and trace the story of a sudden massive flood that drowned vast areas of land. From moraines, to tarn lakes, to the majestic Niagara Falls, the topography and geology of the Great Lakes region is unparalleled, strikingly beautiful and a place of wild contrasts.

洛基山 (2 of 5)

Geologic Journey: The Rockies tells the story of the greatspine of stone that runs from the Canadian North to the southern United States. As the camera takes the audience on a highwire tour through the peaks of the Rockies - in both Canada and the USA - craggy rock faces and dangerous ice reveal the growth pangs of the mountain building era. The pristine beauty of the Canadian Rockies gives way to the ghost towns and gold mines that litter the mountains in Colorado - a telltale clue to the different geologic forces at work in the Canadian range and their American cousins.

This episode is an illustration of how nothing ever stays the same, not even the Rockies. Despite the appearance of timelessness and permanence, geologists are discovering how these rocks will meet their end - a sobering perspective on time, place and the enormity of the earth's Geologic Journey.

加拿大地盾 (3 of 5)

Geologic Journey: The Canadian Shield tells the story of the rocks that were present throughout the very beginnings of the Earth's formation: the rocks of the immovable Canadian Shield. The Shield is one of the true last frontiers of human exploration on our planet: its underground world still leaves much to be discovered.

Geologic time has shaped the rocks of the Shield into a complex ensemble. Geologists take viewers down into the bowels of the earth to demonstrate how billions of tonnes of metal mineralized here, after the crust was transformed by huge chunks of molten rock from outer space. Audiences are led on an expedition in search of the oldest rock formations in the world, deep into remote Labrador territory. And like fools, we follow prospectors in their hunt for gold, which they believe is buried in the mysterious remains of an ancient mountain chain, 2.7 billions years old.

阿巴拉契亚山脉 (4 of 5)

Geologic Journey: The Appalachians is a trip through the gentle, rolling landscape of eastern North America, a landscape that is deceptive and misleading. Beneath its calm and steady appearance hides a violent and active past.

Audiences are given an insider's perspective as our expert geologists attempt to trace the roots of this tumultuous past. From studying the sediment deposits at Anticosti Island, to rebuilding the history of one ofthe most significant mass extinctions, 443 million years ago, scientists are piecing together the elements that continue to shape this diverse region. We are led along the stunning coast, from Newfoundland to North Carolina, to better understand how ancient landmasses separated into Europe and America. And the ground shakes beneath us as scientists reveal the fractures in what is a very active earthquake zone.

The explorations and observations these scientists undertake in the Appalachians today make it possible for us to add a few missing pages in the great history book of the North American continent.

第二季简介

东非裂谷

数百万年来，东非裂谷由于板块运动，裂缝不断扩张。在本集中，我们和尼克艾尔斯教授同行，她告诉我们，随着地心深处的熔岩向上推挤，地壳正在不断撕裂。我们首先造访肯亚的史前地区，这里离所谓人类的摇篮不远。当艾尔斯进入衣索比亚的啊法尔三角带，我们得知地球基本上正在重新整理地球表面－－－由非洲的份裂，我们看到了海洋诞生的过程，在若干年后，我们的东非大裂谷将会变成巨大的海洋

尼罗河

接着我们沿着尼罗河前往埃及。尼罗河谷一直是贸易的走廊和文明的摇篮，奠基于对于当地的地质、采矿和石工的详细知识。

死海裂谷

在最后一段的旅程中，我们亲眼见证死海裂谷强大的板块力量如何截断了人类的聚落和文化－－在一次次的大地震之后，城市遭到遗弃。沿着非洲裂谷，一个地表的裂口预示了地球下一片海洋的诞生。我们在这里最能清楚看到是什么样的地质过程，打造了我们身边的土地和水。
