Voyage of the Continents - Asia: Rising Mountains and Sinking Countries
Season 1 - Episode 2
Synopsis
The tectonic activity in the south of the continent extends as far as Nepal and the Tibetan plain. China is also affected and, like Japan, is exposed to daily earthquakes. The volcanism of the entire region, in Japan and in Indonesia, is both a danger and a resource, and many risk their lives to exploit it. These tremendous phenomena are the fruits of the ceaseless Voyage of the Continents.
The Serie : Via the epic of continental drift, we travel all over the world, to meet scientists who are carrying out state-of-the-art research on the most emblematic landscapes of each geological event.
With these scientists, and thanks to their work, we discover the sites in a new light – landscapes that we often see but rarely look at closely. The journey also establishes the key reference points of life alongside the geologic time scale - the appearance of life, of plants, of terrestrial life, dinosaurs and Man punctuate the geologic time scale.
