How The Earth Was Made
Investigate with HISTORY™ the origins of
some of the most well-known locations and
geological phenomena in the world. From the Great
Lakes to Iceland, the San Andreas Fault to
Krakatoa, How the Earth Was Made travels the globe
to reveal the geological processes that have
shaped our planet. Spectacular on-location
shooting, evidence from geologists in the field,
and clear, dramatic graphics combine in this
stunning 13-part series to roll back the millennia
and show how the immensely powerful, and at times
violent, forces of geology have literally shaped
the world we live in. With rocks as their clues
and volcanoes, ice sheets and colliding continents
as their suspects, scientists launch a forensic
investigation that will help viewers visualize how
the earth has evolved and formed over millions of
years. Locations covered in How the Earth Was Made
include Hawaii – a remote island chain
brought to being by the movement of super heated
magma deep within the earth, to the Marianas
Trench, a spot in the sea deeper than Mount
Everest is high, where the ocean floor disappears
into the centre of the earth.

S01E13 - The Alps
Aired: 12 May 2009
The jagged backbone of Europe, spanning seven
countries and providing essential water to
millions, the Alps are Europe's most important
landmark. But how did marine fossils get here,
seven thousand feet above sea level? A team of
investigators as far back as Leonardo da Vinci
attempt to fathom out how the Alps evolved, a
story that takes us to the bottom of the sea, up
the slopes of the infamous Eiger and Matterhorn
and deep into the heart of a glacier. But these
iconic peaks won't be here for long. Mountains are
tumbling down, glaciers are melting and the Alps
are being washed away.
