Voyage of the Continents - Origins of Africa
Season 2 - Episode 4
Synopsis
After having experienced a violent cataclysm of cosmic origin, Africa found itself trapped in the middle of the other continents. Then, jostled by its neighbours for millions of years, it finally broke free when its crust tore.
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.
