Join Professor Nick Eyles on an epic expedition across the world’s most dangerous geologic front line. From the crushing tectonic plates of Alaska to the volatile volcanoes of the Andes and the seismic "time bombs" of Japan and New Zealand, we explore the relentless subterranean forces reshaping our world. This documentary uncovers the science of subduction, the history of mega-quakes, and the incredible process of "accretion"—where the ocean floor is recycled to build the continents of the future.
