potholer54 | 4 - The Story of the Earth Made Easy (for schools) @potholer54 | Uploaded January 2009 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
This is a schools-friendly version of the Story of the Earth Made Easy, number four in the series that takes us from the Big Bang to the human migration out of Africa. Religious references have been expunged from this video.
For those who have trouble with the quiz at the beginning (and end), here are the clues:
TOP LEFT: The image shows a linear path of damage, outside of a natural drainage channel which could be caused by a flood. This is consistent with a tornado.
BOTTOM RIGHT shows clear wind damage in the palm trees and banners, but no structural damage characteristic of an earthquake. There is no detritus, which would be left by a flood. This could be a tornado, but since the top left image is caused by a tornado it must have been caused by a hurricane. The wet streets are also consistent with a hurricane rather than a tornado.
TOP RIGHT shows structural damage consistent with an earthquake. It could be caused by a flood of sufficient force, but that would have left an enormous amount of debris, which is not present. So this was the earthquake.
BOTTOM LEFT is the only picture left, full of muddy brown sediment and debris. This is clearly the flood.
