National Geographic - Amazing Planet (2006) Part 3 Destructive Forces
The earth is vibrant in color and motion, startling in its variety of shapes and textures, and awe-inspiring in its grace and power. But, many of the Earth's most spectacular conjuring tricks unfold in a timeframe that is imperceptible to mere humans. For Amazing Planet, National Geographic has teamed up with NASA and the US Geological Survey to create a 4-D planet Earth-an eye-popping CGI time machine that makes it possible to see in seconds what took eons to create. Witness the bumper-car antics of continents; ice ages pulsing out of the poles and back again; the Himalayas surging upwards; the march of sand dunes swallowing and then uncovering African villages.
Part 3 Destructive Forces
Why do mountains have a triangular shape? How much rain must fall to start a river? How does one grain of sand become an entire dune? Join National Geographic as we show you how the Dynamos of Destruction sculpt our Amazing Planet. But hold on tight, because this is no ordinary view. Our time machine will sling shot you back to the formation of Earth's first continent, then propel you through billions of years of geologic evolution to see the Earth as we know it today. A little dizzy? That's just the beginning. We will release you in raging rapids, twirl you in whirling winds and drop you from the tops of gigantic glaciers. Watch in dazzling HD how the Earth starts to erode, from water, wind, and ice, to sculpt our Amazing Planet.
