Dramatic footage, groundbreaking evidence from geologists in the field and spectacular graphics combine in 'Series Two' of this stunning series from History to illustrate how immensely powerful and violent forces of nature have formed our planet. This season, 'How the Earth Was Made' goes back 4.5 billion years, peeling back layers of rock, filling up river canyons, parting the oceans and levelling mountains and volcanoes to reveal the origins of some of the most well-known locations and geographical phenomena in the world. With rocks as their clues and volcanoes, ice sheets and colliding continents as their suspects, scientists launch a forensic investigation that will help viewers visualise how the Earth has evolved and formed over millions of years.
