Earth may feel like a solid, permanent home, but beneath our feet, a 4-billion-year cycle of destruction and rebirth is constantly in motion. From the fiery collisions that formed our moon to the rise of the first granite cratons. This documentary explores how plate tectonics act as the mightiest force on our planet. We investigate the ancient supercontinents like Rodinia and Pangia, and look forward 250 million years to a world transformed into Pangia Ultima, a barren landscape where modern cities like New York are crushed beneath rising mountain ranges. Join leading geologists as they reveal how the relentless movement of continents not only builds the world we know but also sets the stage for the next great mass extinction.
