Voyage of the Continents - South America
Saison 2 - Episode 3
Description
South America is a territory of contrasts and excesses. It contains the world’s longest mountain chain, the largest rainforest, the most powerful river, the driest desert and the largest biodiversity on the planet.
This world travelled around the heart of the South Pacific for billions of years, before leaving Gondwana for good to join North America and build … the Americas.
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.
